Subject: Re: handling round bales with a skid steer


Mid-Missouri
You definately want a two prong hay attachment if you are using a skidder. You can buy them cheap, or make them to your specs if you want. I suggest making them, therefore you can mount a gooseneck ball to it. Furthermore, most skidder prongs are too close together. I prefer them to be about 36" apart. This gives you good ability to carry two six foot bales when you want, if you can. It is also more stable carrying palleted material around. If you come from a farm background that utilizes three point hitches, you may just want to make an attachment for skidder with a mounted quik-hitch. You may already have attachments for tractors that you could then use on your skidder w/o further expense. I would hope a 332 would handle two bales mounted close to the faceplate in a low and slow environment.
