"I have owned a Hustler Chainless 4000 for four years now.  In that time I would have fed out close to 4800 bales of supplement.  The supplement was hay, straw, baylage and silage.  Over the four years I can honestly say nothing has damaged or jammed and has fed out every bale successfully.  Before I had bought this piece of machinery I tried five other brands and this one didn't have any difficulty in feeding out any bale off supplement whatsoever!"

SQUARE AND ROUND BALEFEEDER

The Chainless 4000™ balefeeder (Ch4000) is a trailed two bale feeder that carries one bale on the rear tynes for transport and one on the cradle ready to feed.

CHAINLESS 4000 SERIES IV BALEFEEDER

New for 2011 the Series IV combines subtle refinement with the original design innovations that have made it New Zealand's No.1 bale feeder for 11 years running. Wider adjustment range means it can now handle virtually any size of round or square bale, making it more versatile in more farming situations. Our patented Total Control Loading System ensures safer bale handling and precision placement onto the bale cradle. Because our Total Control Loading System is fully mechanical with single ram action  regardless of the tractors hydraulics it works! Without the need for troublesome valves, or special sequencing, and minimal moving and wearing parts our Total Control Loading System is faster and more reliable than anything else on the planet.

Hustler's breakthrough Chainless system has slashed maintenance costs through fewer breakages and much longer service intervals. Now the Series IV with an even more heavier duty parking jack, stronger drawbar, adjustable height towing eye, more adjustment of the FreeFlow wiper panel, our exclusive heavy duty 60mm square 6 stud stub axles and a new look completes the Series IV. With a longstanding tradition of over engineering and smart design behind every machine, this will be the only bale feeder you'll need for a very long time.

5 KEY ADVANTAGES OF A CHAINLESS BALE FEEDER

1: SIMPLE AND SAFE DESIGN The innovative Chainless design eliminates feed chains, meaning fewer moving parts. The result is very low maintenance plus simple and safe operation.

2: ROUNDS AND SQUARES The true square and round balefeeder range found on the New Zealand market today, the Chainless range allows you to feed out virtually any bale you have on hand.

3: THE FEED SAVE Our Chainless feeders use your feed efficiently; you can infinitely vary the amount of feed flowing over the side by adjusting the either the rotors or feed platform height from the cab.

4: NO HASSLE ROTORS Designed to tease the bale out rather than simply unroll it, our rotors are self-cleaning, eliminating feed wrapping.

5: LONG LIFE FEEDBED Our polyethylene feedbed is slippery to reduce bale friction when feeding out and it's also non-corroding, extremely tough and has been proven on 1000's of farms worldwide.

 TOTAL CONTROL LOADING

More advanced than other loading systems on the market, Hustler’s total control loading system controls the bale throughout the entire loading sequence, allowing you to safely handle any size of square or round bale.

The Chainless 4000 requires only two sets of double-acting hydraulics as found on most tractors. Our simple valve system splits the hydraulics to power the feed rotors, platform height adjustment and bale loader. This ensures the bale can ONLY be loaded when the platform is down.
