"We recently bought a Hustler Chainless 8000 and I must say the more I use it the more I like it.  It has been well thought out with a minimum of moving parts and a good use of hydraulics to move the bales around.  I like the fact that once the bales are loaded, all feeding out can be completed without leaving the tractor seat!"

SQUARE AND ROUND BALEFEEDER WAGON

Designed for larger operations, our Chainless 8000™ balefeeder (Ch8000) model will carry four bales ready to feed.

The Ch8000 will also feed out most types of silage.

LOADING THE CH8000

The Chainless 8000 is loaded from the back with a frontend loader, but can also be loaded from the side of the machine.

The operator drops the jack and stabiliser foot, unhitches the tractor and uses his front-end loader to place the bales or silage on the platform and push them up. As they are fed out, bales or silage are moved up the slippery polyethylene floor with the hydraulic cylinder operated tailboard, controlled from the cab of the tractor.

When ready to feed out, the feeding unit automatically separates the bales by 200mm and the bale platform raises.

Tandem oscillating wheels are standard equipment for extra stability.
