Hey, guys. It’s Jayden here with Hustler Equipment. And I often get asked, what’s the three main things to consider when buying a Hustler style bale processor?

And the first main thing would be the hay waste. That’s what we tell everyone right up front. So you might be feeding with, let’s say, you’re unrolling bales. You might be wasting fifteen percent of that hay.

Well, if you bought a hundred bales, that’s like burning fifteen of those bales. And if you could cut that back down to about two percent with the Hustler bale feeder, you’d only be burning two of those bales. That means you’d have thirteen bales extra out of every hundred bales. If that’s a hundred dollars a bale, that’s thirteen hundred bucks every single hundred bales.

And the next thing is maintenance.

That’s the other thing we talk about a lot. Any of these machines that we sell are a hundred percent hydraulic, even up to the biggest wagon, it’s a hundred percent hydraulic. No PTO. Very few moving parts, and any parts that do move don’t move real fast.

And the third thing is pasture production. If you’re able to take that long stem hay and put it out in a fluffy windrow, you’re able to work those poor doing part of the parts of the pasture almost as if you’re rotationally grazing. So you’re able to spread out your hoof traffic, spread out your manure, spread out your urine, and and really build up that organic matter for the next season.

Come check this out. So even on the biggest wagon we got the Kombi RX two one eight you still only have a couple of hydraulic hoses you can see here. So you hook these up hook up a little bit electrical, and you’re off to the races. Absolutely no PTO required, very little maintenance. Thanks for watching. If you got any other questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ll see you on the next one.
