Fast bales

[Bog Man]

You need bigger bales . I think these can be 5000LBS weight

2 and a half ton of dry cotton, imagine how heavy that would be with silage.
A lot of farms making round bale silage wouldn't have a loader capable of lifting a silage bale that big. Don't think there's a wrapper capable either

Talk of de mounts and hooklifts on another thread had me thinking.
Would a hooklift system work with bales??
Body being loaded
Body being emptied
And one going back and forth
Be no hanging around.
Field loader could have time to strap the bales too on some draws? Easy enough to strap two high and wide at field level!?

Then stack them to move farms
@Bog Man ever tried bales on urs?

I’ve a 20’ flat for the hooklift,used it last year for bales,no reason it wouldn’t pull on with bales on it.

As long as they are strapped sufficiently, no reason at all. Hooklifts are designed for lifting loads after all. Some of the places I used to deliver to had waste loaded into hooklift containers filled using compactor units.

Wasn't the weight so much as bales staying on I was wondering about. Havimg to strap loads that aren't going on the road would be a pain IMO
But I spose there's nothing stoping there being a frame at the back.

I cant see me wanting to shift bales
Bad enough moving my own

I have removable bars at the back of my Curtainsider so I can drop loads of big bags. Usually seed .

Did you notice the handler on the loader turn into a grab when he left the field?
