Hey, guys. Jordan here with Hustler Equipment. Today, we’re just gonna be talking a little bit about our two models of bale grabbers, and I often get asked which version should I get. Generally, the main thing is bale size. So let’s just take a look at our LM100 over here.

The LM100 is made for, generally speaking, four by four bales, four by five bales, and five by five bales. And the the main opening is up to sixty eight inches and it’ll come right down to about five inches. So if you’re looking to move about eight hundred to a thousand round bales per year, this is probably the one for you. So next we’re gonna take a look at our LX200.

This one over here has got a a max opening of about eighty three inches. So if you’ve got, five by fives or five by sixes, that’s probably gonna be the one for you. The other cool feature about this LX200 right here is that you can actually double stack round bales and carry two at a time. So it’s a little more aimed at our contractors than the average farmer.

So one of the other cool features you may wanna take a peek at here, you can see the hands are actually adjustable with these three pin slots. And what that does for you is if you’ve got, about six foot long baleage bales, you can move those too. And by the way, on the LM100, it’s got a massive max operating capacity of 2,200lbs, and the LX200 has a max operating capacity of double that at 4,400lbs. And also, check these out.

As reliable as the LM100 pivot pin is at inch and a quarter, we’ve decided to absolutely overkill on theLX200ed and go with a massive inch and a half pin so that you as a contractor, when you’re lifting thousands of bales every year, you’re not gonna have any problems. Thanks, guys. Once again, I’m Jordan with Hustler Equipment, and I’ll see you in the next video.
