Self-loading, suitable for feeding out any bale, round or square
The Chainless trailed square and round bale feeders are self-loading, suitable for feeding out any bale, round or square, and it maximises feed use. Designed for medium to large operations. A Chainless trailed bale feeder minimises feed waste by feeding out into narrow windrows to make the feed more accessible to animals and all but eliminate damage from hoof trampling, manure spoilage, and animals laying down on the feed. More efficient use of power, savings on machinery investment and faster bale feeding all add up to impressive fuel economy – made possible by the hydraulic drive system at the heart of every Hustler Chainless trailed bale feeder.
The Chainless Trailed Bale Feeder is the most versatile Bale Feeder, it will feed out any bale round, square, tight, soft, short, long, dry and wet bales with ease.
No troublesome feed chains is a key advantage for – Reliability, lower maintenance and quieter operation, the teasing action of the rotors uses feed more economically because it is easier for the cattle as they can eat it because it is fluffed up. The Chainless can effectively feed out any bale type in both round or square. Chainless is a virtually silent feeding operation which means your stock will be more comfortable.
This gives you total control overloading the bale. The simple, reliable and fool-proof single cylinder design of the Hustler loading system is safer than other loading systems and allows unwrapping of the bale above the feed cradle, reducing waste. The Hustler loading system can be reversed if the operator decides not to load that bale. It also has more support area for soft or square bales. The Chainless square and round Bale Feeder have more leverage, stronger design and larger 1.5-tonne capacity.
The newly developed wiper panel that clears the hay from the rotors better. It has a new quick release latching system for releasing the panel to clean out any hay.
The New Rotor shape has better penetration on tight bales and the shape cleans sticky bales better. The new Axial Rotor centralizes the bale in the feeding chamber so that there is less wastage. It has more grip on sloppy, rotor cut bales which makes feeding them out easier and more efficient. The larger bale chamber makes it possible to feed out a wider range of bales, and also makes using the TX205 trailed bale feeder very simple for operators of all skill levels and reduces the need for platform adjustment
Loaded with time-saving and money-saving features such as; QRC Grips, Drawbar hose holder, biggest stub axles on the market, Loadial loading indicator, Feedguide built-in platform height guide and Hustler’s stamp of quality, full 2-year warranty, and much more.
The Chainless Trailed Bale Processor with its low centre of gravity and wide wheel track makes it the most stable Bale Feeder on the market when in operation adding peace of mind.

Adding extra loading tynes to your trailed bale feeder is ideal for handling larger square bales that require additional support. As the tynes are a bolt-on option, you can retrofit them on any trailed models you use.
Optional platform extension available for 8’ long square bales.
Attachment can be fitted to any bale feeder, Silage wagon or Combi Feeders and has been designed especially for spreading causmag, lime flour or minerals directly onto the row of feed.

The addition of a new Axial Rotor with centralising paddles keeps the bale positioned in the centre of the feeding chamber to minimise wastage and provide better grip on soft bales.
Hustler’s proven polyethylene platforms with ribbed design keeps the bales tracking straight and with 30% less friction than steel, it reduces drag on the bale which makes feeding out sticky bales easier and it will never corrode. The chainless platform is wider to reduce waste with sloppy bales.
Infinite variation in feed control, allows you to feed thick for cattle, thin for sheep to increase the palatability for your stock
The entire drive system is now located at the rear, which allows better manoeuvrability. Bigger outboard bearing blocks are easily greased, larger shafts, automatic drive tensioners require no adjustments, and is designed to handle large 1.5-tonne bales(TX205). TE205 will handle up to 1-tonne bales.
The Easy Clean Hypaflow Wiper Panel minimises blockages and ensures that hay drops outside the wheel tracks to avoid being flattened into the mud. A quick release latch releases the wiper panel for easy cleaning.
The clear, easy to read platform height guide shows starting positions for various bale types making it easier to use for all operators.
Transmission covers protect against mud and debris getting at the heavy duty drive system which reduces maintenance.
The new easier to read loading indicator makes loading any bale simple: line up the indicator to correct bale position, back in and load.
Our diverter valve is a safety feature and allows the Chainless to be used behind tractors with just 2 double acting remotes.
The Chainless round and square Bale Feeder is built to handle larger bales and has an impressive strength to weight ratio, achieved by using high tensile steel and larger section members. We’ve done our homework and put the steel where it’s needed, not in case it’s needed.
Our 6-stud axles are the strongest on the market giving you longer life and more load capacity.
The Chainless Bale Processor has more ground clearance allowing you to operate on rugged terrain. With the clean underside of the chassis there is nothing to damage or get snagged should you belly out.
The single post drawbar design has set the benchmark in feeder manoeuvrability and tighter turning. The drawbar is fitted with built-in road-legal safety chain mounts and an adjustable height towing eye.
The heavy-duty 12,000kg rated forged towing eye has 50mm height adjustment to suit different size tractors. It rotates 360°, making feeding out on uneven terrain trouble-free.
New heavy-duty parking jack has an oversize mounting for a positive lock and safety. To allow for tighter turning, we’ve added an extra mount on top of the drawbar for stowing the jack.
Hustlers’ unique oven-baked Armacote system is applied to a sandblasted finish ensuring long life, durability and a premium quality finish.
The Chainless TX205 is equipped with a large capacity stringbox which is very handy for stowing that bale wrap, fencing standards, and other items while you’re out and about. Optional on the TE205.
Extra wide 13/55-R16 flotation tyres are standard equipment for less compaction in wet conditions. Comes standard with the TX205.
Keeps your feed clean and dry when travelling between paddocks and reduces feed spoilage when operating in muddy conditions. Mudguards come optional on the TX205 and the TE205.
The single hydraulic ram of Hustler’s Total Control 2 loading system makes loading faster and prevents bales from falling on the operator during unwrapping. A bigger tyne frame provides extra support for soft or square bales.
A quick release latch releases the wiper panel for easy cleaning.

Many hours of research and development have gone into the shape of the teeth to makes them clean easier, and have more aggression on tight bales. The Chainless has 5 teeth per rotor to provide extra grip on soft bales.
Requested by farmers and unique to Hustler Bale Feeders, the drawbar mounted hose holder keeps the hydraulic hoses out of harm’s way, reducing chances of downtime. The Chainless hose holder has provision to hold the hoses when the bale feeder is not in use.
Most of the savings are achieved by a reduction in the amount of bale which is wasted.
Feed wastage can be caused by various factors:
1) The bale is not teased apart enough making it harder for stock to eat.
2) Animals laying or trampling on fodder.
3) Unfinished bales inside ring feeders due to poor ground conditions, not allowing animals to reach the leftover bale.
4) Stock rejecting feed because of dirt, mud or other contaminants.
Savings can be made by feeding the right amount of the bale and retaining the rest for the next feed. By feeding over a larger area compare to a ring feeder, there is less competition between the animals.
Typical savings achieved by using a Hustler Chainless bale feeder are between 15-40%, depending on your existing feeding system (chain feeders typically save 10-35%).
