Leading ranchers are discovering many benefits from trading their high maintenance bale processor for a Hustler bale feeding system!  

 

1. Hay remains intact, and is not destroyed. 

The bale feeder simple teases apart the bale into a tidy windrow without chopping or grinding the bale. This provides some key benefits that great ranchers really appreciate:

  •  Cattle no longer need to sift through the stalks to find the grain from the bale and the grain is not smashed into fines that are easily lost into soil
  • The leaves of the bale where a large proportion of the nutritional goodness is found, are not smashed to powder and blown away as dust. The bale feeder preserves the leaf so your cattle can eat it.
  • Any mould in a bale is seperated from the hay without mixing it, allowing cattle to eat fresh, clean hay.

  • Simple hydraulically driven design, with no PTO shaft and very few moving parts to keep adjusted, greased, and maintained.
  • Low speed rotors that all the tractor to be operated at not much more than an idle, teasing bales apart instead of chopping.
  • Virtually no dust to clog air filters on your tractor, stick to your grease points or get in the eyes of your cattle 
  • Ultra low power requirement allows the bale feeding system to be operated with small tractor and even you pickup should it have a hydraulic supply

The list goes on!
