Square & Round Bale FeederX2000
This model is now replaced by the Mounted Chainless LM104 square and round bale feeder.
Our work horse self-loading, 3 point hitch mounted square and round bale feeder, with the game changing X series feeding system which processes every type of square or round bale with ease, even the tightest of dry hay bales or the ugliest of soggy silage bales.
Benefits
- CHAINLESS – 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 X2000 round bale feeder can effectively feed out any bale type in both round or square. Chainless is a virtually silent feeding operation which means stock are more comfortable.
- FEED ANY BALE – The new rotor shape and bale chamber design has better penetration on tight bales, frozen bales and square bales and the shape cleans sticky bales better. A patented new Axial rotor has more grip on sloppy, rotor cut bales which makes feeding them out easier and more efficient and centralizes the bale in the feeding chamber, reducing wastage. The larger bale chamber makes it possible to feed out a wider range of bales, and makes using the X2000 square and round bale feeder very simple for operators of all skill levels and reduces the need for platform adjustment.
- EASY CLEANING – The new Easy Clean Hypaflo wiper panel – 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.
- NO BUSHES – Bushes in the drive system are one of the highest causes of frustration in maintaining a bale feeder. We pleased to announce that the entire drive system on the new Chainless X2000 round bale feeder runs on bearings, for lowest possible maintenance, less downtime and longer service life.

Features
Axial Rotor
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.
Feeds out any bale
The Chainless X2000 is the most versatile bale feeder, it will feed out any bale, round & square.
Feed Control
Infinite variation in feed control allows you to feed thick for cattle, thin for sheep to increase the palatability for your stock.
Polyethylene Floor
Hustler’s proven polyethylene platforms with ribbed design keeps 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 X2000’s platform is wider to reduce waste with sloppy bales.
Hypaflow Wiper
The Easy Clean Hypaflo 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.
Sandblasted Wet Coat Finish
New sandblasted finish and improved paint system means your new Chainless X2000 will look smarter for longer.
Quick Release Wiper
A quick release latch releases the wiper panel for easy cleaning.
Rotor Teeth
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.
Tynes that pierce the bale
We’ve used specifically designed forged bale spears which pierce the bale rather than pushing it and are longer which reduces bale sag even with the wettest of bales, another innovation from Hustler.
Dual Latches
High mounted connection latches on both sides of the feeder take the load off the cradle, which removes any load from the bale spears. This provides a more reliable, positive connection to handle the heavier bales it has been tested to handle.
Unequal Length Tynes
We’ve made one tyne longer than the other for quick and easy alignment when reconnecting the cradle. You’ll only need to line up one tyne, then back straight in.
Protected Motor
We’ve protected the motor from coming into contact with the tractor tyre, which can save you costly downtime and repairs when your tractor has short linkage arms.
Tie Point For Strings
We’ve included two grab bars, so you can tie the square bale strings to the platform. This saves the operator having to remove the strings before feeding out.
Bushless Drive
We’ve eliminated troublesome bushes from the drive system of the new X2000, this reduces maintenance, increases service life, reduces the need for frequent greasing and saves you a whole lot of frustration.
Heavy Duty Latches
Built to take the heaviest of bales, and last longer with less wear
