Based at the bottom of Mount Taranaki, Paul Lightoller farms 580 cross-breed dairy cows on 244 effective hectares with the great help of two SL360X (Unrola LX105) Hustler bale feeders. Read more to discover when it comes to feeding out bales, Paul places his trust in Hustler.

Paul bought his first Hustler three years ago, and the second one is just finishing its third season. As he is using his machines over his two dairy farms, Paul loves the Hustler’s Snaplox patented hands-free auto connection system (comes as standard with the SL360X) which means no need to tug on a rope to disconnect the headstock from the feeder.
