Andy there is a red one I think, I am sure there is one on the farm where I used to work. I'm not likely to be down there for a while and I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it, only that it was red. Idela for straw though probably not for this seasons bales  \

grays unroller great in cubicle passages just that reversing is like russian roulette. the bale sits a long way back when raised from memory. you plenty of grunt in bedding yards  or plenty of run up when in deep litter but ok once you start unrolling them.
