Big Bale Transtacker
Designed not only to provide an easy, simple and efficient way of collecting and stacking bales in the field. It also has the ability to collect the stacked bales from the storage location, transport them to anywhere you desire and place them on a variety of surfaces including inside barns and sheds ready for collection or just for storage.
The stack can then be taken down at your convenience and still remain solid thanks to the unique way the stack can be built using the auto tie option that is standard on all models.
How it works...
Pick Up
The new and improved pick up function can be adjusted without leaving the cab for varying bale sizes and uses twin assister supports to ensure a smooth movement capable of handling bales of up to 1 tonne easily.
Large tines grip the bales securely ready for transition onto the turntable.
This works in conjunction with the guide bar so the process of aligning the bale for pick up is incredibly simple. The guide bar will automatically retract when “Road Mode” is selected for safety. There are also two spare tines mounted on the chassis as standard.
Simply align the bale with the right hand wheel of the tractor and drive forwards until it is held in position with the guide bar and pick up frame.
Activate the auto pick up function on the advanced joystick control and large double tines penetrate the bale holding it securely on the pick up frame, lifting it clear of the ground without stopping or slowing your forward movement.
The bale is placed on the turntable pushing any previously collected bales to the far side, the tines then retract and the pick up returns to its home position ready for the next bale all in one smooth automatic movement.
One of the unique features of the Big Bale Transtacker is the ability to not only vertically stack the bales it has collected but also pick them up again for transport to another location.
The bales are held securely using the Turntable, Side Clamps and Rear Pads and reversed toward the existing stack. The trailer can be tipped whilst moving.
When the tipped stack is in position, activate the Auto Function which then starts to open all clamps.
Drive away, one simple and efficient procedure. Picking up the stack is just a matter of reversing this process.
