Bale Feeder. Double Layer, Single Row
Just One Moving Part!
Our Single Row, Double Layer, Square bale feeder can carry and feed out 4 of Bailage bale’s and 3 or more of Big square Straw bales up to 2.2 Meters long each on the top layer, or any combination of both on either layer that don’t exceed the working deck length of 7.1 Meters.
The Bale feeders can carry and feed out any type of Big or Medium square bale. You simply load the deck with your tractor or front end loader of some sort, then access the deck via the stairs and walkway to cut all the strings and leave them (the strings) in the yard so no risk of strings ending up in the paddock. Then travel to your paddock and begin feeding out your bales by engaging the hydraulic the pusher frame at the front of the trailer, which travels very slowly along its tracks towards the back, And in doing so quietly pushes your bales off the rear edge one slab at a time as they break off from the bales they were part of.
The Spring loaded heavy duty Tedder fingers fixed to the vertical and overhead beams at the rear of the trailer ensure that only the slabs of the bale that have been pushed past the Tedder fingers reach can fall off, just like a deck of cards standing vertically getting slowly pushed over the edge of a table one card at a time.
By controlling your tractor and trailer travel speed to a good fast walking pace you will create a 2 to 3 Meter gap between the bale slabs as they fall.
Also they can feed out any width of bale from Medium Square at 850mm wide up to Big Square at 1.250 Meters wide and any height.
Testimonials
"We purchased two rollers, one from Pluck's and one from another company; in the first year, the other company roller was sent back because it leaked, and five years later, the Pluck's roller has never been touched."

“It is vital for the roller to be the right fit for moving around the farm with stock and mowing. They don’t break down and we like the prompt service from Pluck’s.”

“We were looking for new trailers as ours had passed their use by date. In a large farm of 1050 cows, a high staff numbers situation, with a team of 5 we were looking to keep things simple and look after staff and animal welfare. When we saw the Benic calf trailer, it immediately stood out as a trailer that would be good for staff, loading at standing height, but also importantly very easy on the calves.
Having the calves hanging rather than standing in a trailer means they can’t fall over and be trampled. This is very helpful for calves that are not long born and we are finding calves arriving at the calf shed in much better condition, clean and no more bleeding navels. Although sometimes a frustration for the team, the set number of slings on the trailer has meant that trailers never get overloaded to save a trip; far better for the calves.
The Benic trailer encourages our staff to treat the calves better by not throwing them in a trailer over the top and or throwing too many in a trailer to save a trip. We recommend the Benic calf trailer.”
