Thought everyone might like to see the bale carriers used to haul hay up here. This is my first time posting pictures, so I hope this works.

The first picture is the empty bale carrier.

The second picture shows the carrier partly loaded and the left arm bringing up a bale to the bed.

The third picture shows the carrier fully loaded.

The final picture shows the bed tilted up and the chains have partly rolled the load off.

The unit carries 12 bales and can load and unload without the operator leaving the seat. It has 8 11L15 tires and requires a tractor with dual hydraulis and a 12 volt power source. You even have rear visibility between the rows of bales. They work great.

The pictures were taken in early October.

Enjoy!

John

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "hauling hay"! That's about the slickest piece of equipment I have seen. Thanks for posting.

Very interesting! That hauler will sure get the rolls out of the field.

First time i seen one of these units was home made on a (i think GM 3 ton) about 20 or more years ago. The fellow who made this set up is out of Bluffton Alberta Canada. There a custom bale hauler called The Bale Bandit, now called Bandit Industries. They have units that can haul 12 to 36 round bales and units to haul 15 to 30 squares, there unit puts anouther row of bales on top of the first 2 rows all self loading. They can load 17 bales in 6 min and 34 in 20 min. They also make a bumper for highway tractors that is indistructible, we got one at or shop on display for sale, wehave installed these bumpers, they are strong.

R John, thanks, I've never seen an outfit like that , I'm still haying in the 1960's, small square baler, 4 flat racks and a bale elevator! I do hire a guy to roll me up some big rounds and I feed them until the winter gets so cold I run the cattle in and throw small squares to them...I like having the cattle in, it keeps the old barn warm enought that the water pipes don't freeze. I pick rounds with the manure forks, set them in a row by the barn and feed them, it is easier than small bales, the technology you show eliminates any need to touch a bale...couldn't imagine...how are cattle prices in your area? Local sales arenas here have all cattle trading at prices before the border closing, cows are perhaps still low, generally replacement cattle are bringing good returns if you are selling, expensive if you are buying..anyway thanks for posting the pictures, I couldn't afford the front tires but nice to see...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Mike

Things are looking up for us cattle farmers. Prices here are very good, but not quite as high as pre border closing was. Seems the buyers want heavy calves this year and are willing to pay for them. Talked to a guy yeaterday who sold some 7 weight black steers at the local auction mart. Got about $1.20/LB. I will sell my calves on Dec 3. Most likely they will end up near you. The are Char cross calves that seem to be prefered by eastern feedlots.

Very interesting to this 75 year old man who has put up his share and more of loose hay. Thanks for posting.

Is the machine made by JD? If not, by who?
Seems like the one arm couldn"t get ahold of a bale. Can we nickname it the "two-arm bandit"?
Nice photos and thanks. What part of Manitoba? I grew up near Rocklake, ND which is south and a little east of Cartwright.

This machine was built by a company in Winnipeg called Greenbelt. Just a small outfit that sold out to a company called Buffalo or Bison Industries somewhere in Nebraska (I think). Several other manufacturers build them up here. Buhler in Winnipeg and Highline somewhere here in the Prairie Provences.

We are located 130 miles or so NW of Winnipeg, near a small town called Vogar.

Have had a neighbor in North Central MO that has had one for years, his is only 1/2 of that one. Only 1 lifting arm, and one row of bales, I think it will carry 6 or 8...His is red, I'm almost thinking it has New Holland on it, but am not sure, its about 20 years old. It speeds the process up, but is hard on the strings of the bales, breaks the twine, and allows the outside to loosen up a little, he has a little more problem with the bales rotting on the outside, and he can't get them rowed up very straight or tight to keep the ends together and sealed up. But the time is worth something to.

I'm 35 miles East of you. Supposed to snow a few tonight. Geese are abundant. Deer are going to be dead this weekend.

my neighbours in southestern saskatchewan use those too. In fact I just bought 10 straw bales from one, and they were delivered on that bale handler. Very slick indeed.
