The swiss-army knife of bale feeder / bedder machines
- Feeds round and square bales without shredding or destroying highly nutritional leaf
- Evenly spreads round and square bales from 7-11 metres without shredding straw for longer life
- Hydraulically powered allows for quick and easy loader or telehandler mounting
- High discharge design enables spreading over head bails when using on tractor 3 point linkage
- Minimal dust, low projectile design is safer for cattle
5 Reasons to Choose a Hurricane
1. More Versatility
The most versatile feeder bedder on the market
- Feeds any bale type of round or square bale – Hay, Balage, Straw
- Spreads/beds both round or square bales of straw
- Hydraulically powered works equally as well on telehandlers, loaders, or tractor 3 point hitch
- Handles the widest variety of bales than any single machine
2. More Efficiency
Save more of your time and money
- Unchopped straw lasts longer, reducing straw consumption and waste handling for clean up
- Highly nutritional leaves remain intact when feeding, to preserve the most nutritional part of the bale, reducing feed waste
- Low power requirement saves of fuel consumption
- Lower overall operational labour required
3. More Animal Safety
Unique spreader design is safer for livestock
- Reduces dangerous projectiles unlike blower machines which can be fatal
- Projectiles from blowers can penetrate and damage your barn
- Low dust bedding with Hurricane reduces respiratory problems when bedding pens with livestock in them
4. More Flexibility
Flexibility of use future-proof operation
- Hydraulically powered rather than PTO and hydraulic powered allows more flexibility of operation
- The ultra-compact design allows for use in tighter workspaces than other feeder / bedders
- Operate on the 3 point hitch or loaders
5. More Simplicity
Safer, simpler, easier
- High discharge makes operation safer as centre of gravity can remain lower to the ground than other bedding systems
- Auto disconnection system makes for easy and safe loading and netting removal and headstock/spears can be used for general bale stacking duties
- Less than 10 seconds to switch between feeding and bedding without the need for tools
- Rotor can be unplugged without leaving the cab, unlike all other bedding systems
Hurricane vs other bedding equipment
Find the ultimate feeding and bedding solution in the market for success in your operation.
A feeding system comparison Hurricane versus blower type
| Hurricane | Straw Blower type |
| ✔ Lowest dust spreading = Cleaner barn, healthier livestock | Χ Dust creates a Messy Environment & livestock respiratory issues |
| ✔ Hydraulic Drive, No PTO less maintenance and safer, less fuel consumption | Χ High horsepower required, PTO driven higher maintenance, harder to connect up |
| ✔ Covers more area with less straw and improved absorption means straw lasts longer | Χ Straw chopped small meaning it takes more straw to fill the bedding area |
| ✔ Remove blockages without needing to leave the cab | Χ Covers need to be removed to clear blockages |
| ✔ Unique design reduces projectiles making for safer operation | Χ Projectiles damage your barn, and can be lethal when bedding with livestock in the pens |
| ✔ Easily feeds any bale even wet balage without jamming | Χ Prone to plugging up when feeding, especially wetter forages |
| ✔ Simple in-cab controls | Χ Have to get out of the cab to change RPM speed |
| ✔ Self-loading design with snap-lox auto-connect system utilises bale spears for easy loading, stacking and bale handling | Χ No Auto connection, difficult loading. Bales need to be pushed against a wall or similar to load |
| ✔ Compact Design | Χ Large design – hard to get into tight spaces |
| ✔ Bed Round & Square | Χ Round bales Only |
3 added values that you’ll appreciate with the Hurricane:
Doesn’t Pulverize or chop feed – Gentle on the highly nutritional leaves when in feeding mode, keeping intact preserving the most nutritional part of the bale, reducing feed waste.
Long full stem straw for bedding last longer and requires fewer replacements saving on straw and labour to constantly clean out barns. It also provides more cattle comfort as it doesn’t pack down as quickly
Bed and feed, round and square bales. Yes the Hurricane is the only machine that will reliably bed and feed round and square bales of any type.
A feeding system comparison Hurricane versus bale processor type
| Hurricane | Bale Processor type |
| ✔ Doesn’t Pulverize or Chop feed reducing waste | Χ Pulverizes and Chops feed reducing nutritional value |
| ✔ Lowest dust spreading = Cleaner environment and healthier livestock | Χ Dust creates a messy environment & livestock respiratory issues, and more maintenance cleaning tractors air filters |
| ✔ Hydraulic Drive, No PTO less maintenance and safer, less fuel consumption | Χ High horsepower required, PTO driven higher maintenance, harder to connect up, and more replacement of costly wearing parts |
| ✔ Compact design | Χ Large pull-type design – hard to maneuver in tight spaces |
| ✔ Covers more area with less straw and improved absorption means straw lasts longer | Χ Straw chopped small meaning it takes more straw to fill the bedding area, and straw packs in quicker |
| ✔ Remove blockages without needing to leave the cab | Χ Prone to plugging with wet materials, and are difficult to remove and clear blockages |
| ✔ Unique design reduces projectiles making for safer operation | Χ Projectiles damage your barn, and can be lethal when bedding with livestock in the pens |
| ✔ Easily feeds any bale even wet balage without jamming | Χ Prone to plugging up when feeding, especially wetter forages |
| ✔ Feeds and beds Round & Square bales of any feed type | Χ Feeds most round bale types and some squares |
3 added values that you’ll appreciate with the Hurricane:
Gentle on highly nutritional leaves- This preserves the most nutritional part of the bale, reducing feed waste.
Doesn’t Pulverize or chop – Cleaner barn, less animal and human respiratory problems, less straw consumption
Hydraulic powered design is easier to connect, safer to use, uses less fuel and wearing parts lowing overall operating costs, and provides the flexibility to be operated on a front end loader
A feeding system comparison Hurricane versus unroller, bedder type
| Hurricane | Unroller type |
| ✔ Feed Round & Square | Χ Feed Rounds only |
| ✔ Bed Round & Square | Χ Beds Rounds only |
| ✔ Beds up to 11m | Χ Beds up to 6m |
| ✔ High discharge | Χ Low discharge |
| ✔ Teases bales apart | Χ Unrolls bale without teasing |
| ✔ Less jamming (blockages can be cleared from cab) | Χ Easy to stall (can’t be unjammed from cab) |
3 added values that you’ll appreciate with the Hurricane:
Beds and feed round and square bales.
Auto Connection – No need to get out of the cab to connect your machine.
Little Maintenance needed
