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 |
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 |
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) |
Beds and feed round and square bales.
Auto Connection – No need to get out of the cab to connect your machine.
Little Maintenance needed
Feeds any type of bale thanks to unique 3:1 teasing action and infinite feed control providing increased versatility and reducing feed waste.
Innovative new belt drive system, provides higher torque delivery, improved spreading ability and reduces spike loads on drive system resulting in longer life, and less maintenance.
Unique controls system has the ability to self-clear any material build up and allows feeder to be operated independently from spreader for safer operation, easier start up, and fewer blockages.
New operator friendly floating mount system makes for easier bale loading when used on telehandlers or loaders.
Higher spreader discharge for more spreading versatility and lower operational centre of gravity for improved safety.
Unique folding spreader allows for switching between feeding and spreading in less than 10 seconds without the need for any tools.
Unique and fool-proof Snaplox hand-free auto connect/disconnect loading system.
Compact design allows for use in smaller barns and restricted areas.
Low speed drive coupling reduces vibrations and maintenance.
Hurricane 2 is covered by numerous Patents Pending on the clever new design.
Chain and bar floor design handles even the lightest of walker combined round bales with ease, a type of bale that most other machines struggle with.
Adjustable bedder rotor and feed rotor speeds independently providing more flexibility of use and accommodates a wider cross-section bedding preference.
Unique rotor design provides a combination of fixed knives and floating flails to provide a even spread, excellent throwing distance, minimise stalling and with a variety of combinations you have the ability to bed any bale to your preferences.
Massive 12,000lb roller chains on bed floor with bolt on replaceable feed bars.
Built in Even Feed Roller accommodates the latest high-density square bales.
Fully sealed bearings for long life and low maintenance with build in chain tensioners.
Protected drive system from dust and debris keeps running gear ultra-low maintenance.

“Our drives to moving to this bit of kit was finding a safer alternative to the PTO straw chopper, and to get to one tractor operation for bedding up. The Hurricane stood up to the challenge and straw no longer gets trodden in as quickly”
Adam Atkinson, South Devon (United Kingdom) - Hurricane LX104I enjoy running the Hustler, it handles the hay better than anything I’ve run for products for busting up round bales. I got the Hurricane on this one and it tears it apart, fluffs it, more than I can ask for in any other machine I’ve run, I’ve run several dif
