Here, almost all hay is unrolled with bale beds.
My first ‘parellel squese” dew eze I made a 3 pt one outa——on rare storms where chained up pickup cant get around, it’s a dandy—-but it’s sat for yrs—-this was cheap—-elec/hydraulic—-I would never buy another parralell squeeze or electric.hydraulic.
And I see down south guys have ‘spear beds” —-WTH?—-why not go a little farther $$ and get real bale bed?
Got hydrabed—-simple and tough—-but also got cannonball——individual arm control plus bed dumps—-THATS the fav—
Got old haybuster processor—-straw, nasty hay, crap hay is its forte—-a bale will just take up space in a tub, get laid on unrolled—-but you can take a bale so nasty you gotta go crosswind cause it looks like you got a fire—-and cows will line up and eat it—
Ps—-the ‘spinner’ type never caught on here—-
Because flatbeds are $4,000, spear beds are $6,000 and hydra beds are $17,500 with knobs and no extra stuff. I might be a tick off on flatbed and spear bed but bought the hydra bed couple weeks ago. Joy stick is $1800, wireless is another $600 |
