Have a 1952 JD-M Tricycle and need to move large round bales of hay short distances. Tried hay spike, however; my hydralics can't handle 250lbs spike and hay round. What other options do I have? Do they make any other attachments to pull rounds from place to place without un-rolling them or completely lifting them.

Lee, check with your local high school career tech welding class. They might be able to make one. Ii teach in Ala and we have made several of these. We use a slide under the bale and a winch to lift, seems to work fine. wh

Thanks to all for the great info! That trailer in the picture is exactly what I need. If anyone knows where I could get one in Florida please let me know. Otherwise my next vacation may be to Texas!

I just looked at the picture again and noticed the words at the top of the page - "Are you tired of cranking the wench on your old forklift type hay trailer?" Maybe he meant winch, not wench. That or he's not selling what I think he is...

I agree with what these guys are saying. The two wheeled mover is by far the best idea. However, the crank could be removed and replaced by a remote hydraulic cylinder if your tractor is set up this way. This would let you bak up to a bale, lift it, move it, and set it back down without leaving the tractor set. All your tractor will have to do is tow the bale then. These are relativley common here in TExas and can even be bought commercially (if you are not able to home-make one)

Lee, Around here (East Texas) these homemade bale trailers are all over the place, one kind is a short trailer with two pipe forks and a hand cranked winch, you lower the forks and back under the clae then start cranking, the other is what we call a tumblebug and it works using the trailer brakes and a hook. The forked trailers works best with tractors. I will try to get a picture of my neighbors', he bought 100 bales of my hay this year and feeds it with this little trailer to his cows about 5 miles down the road. A welding shop should be able to build you one for around $250. Johnny

I have seen a two-wheel trailer made for hauling a single large round bale of hay. This trailer is made to be pulled by a pick up, should work for a light tractor. A six-foot tongue and two braces are secured to a 6' axle. A hay spike is welded to a heavy arm to form an "L", the "L" is hinged to the axle, the spike points aft and the other arm points straight up. The spike is driven into the hay by backing the trailer, then a manual winch pulls the vertical arm forward and down to rotate the spike(and hay)up off the ground for transport. Don't know if this explanation works, if not e-mail for more info. And post the results of your experience. Dick Davis

I have had the same problem trying to move 1200 to 1500 pound bales with a light tractor. I wound up buying a larger machine, but it doesnt have 3 point so all I can do is drag them. My idea is to make a bale lifter out of an old whell disc which will be cut down and have a bale fork mounted to the axle and a hydraulic cylinder for lift. Another option I have though of is a simple sled, which you could roll the bale onto, then drag it like a stone boat.

Why are you guys using those Big Ol round bales?
are you wrapping them for silage?
only the dairys out here in oregon use those
size of a Volkswagen
I was going to throw in on the stoneboat idea
maybe go get a 59 cadillac hood and put a couple of eyebolts in the front and roll it on.
i like my good ol 14T jd baler ...60# bales
take care guys.

Some folks put up several thousand bales - the big round bales - per year. Takes a lot of twine & labor to do that with small bales! Also, much corn stalks and some bean stubble is baled around here, a lot easier to do with a round baler.
