Suits all
Front end loader and implement manufacturer Quicke has introduced a new, multi-purpose bale grab call the Quadrogrip.
HAY BALE 'bundling' (collecting, stacking, tying) is said to be easy with a new machine from Giltrap Agrizone, Otorohanga and Cambridge.
The Arcusin B14 multipack stacker, made in Spain, collects 10, 12 or 14 conventional bales and ties them ready for collection. It can gather 500 bales an hour – hay, straw or haylage.
"It is fully automatic but can be operated manually from the cab or from the machine when it is stationary," says product specialist for AgriZone, Greig Singer.
Tied bales can be wrapped or, if necessary, lifted by a Stolle Pro-H attached to a frontloader onto a truck.
Says Singer, "Throughout New Zealand lots of conventional bales are pressed. With this machine the labour intensive part of collecting and stacking can be mechanised to reduce labour and costs."
The machine is gentle on the bales, efficient and "dead easy" to operate.
Minimum power 95hp.
