Gav836 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Looks very good Sean, very accurate to the real thing from what i can remember about them, been a couple of years since i saw one in use here for conventional bales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 unfortunatly shes not strong enough to lift the proper bales,so i plan to cut up and spray some of the faom i put in the second pic to act as a load for her, should be able to score it and paint it yellow ok i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 last one for min, i still need to trim it down height wise a bit ,as its a fair size gap at the top between the bales and the rack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 nice work Sean!!! ;D, what about maybe changing the wheels to the ones similar to the baler? \ \ \ are those my trailers in the background \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Just had a thought Sean, did they not have two tines up the back of the carrier which used to slide beneath the stack of bales when you went to pick them up, i know the ones for Hesston bales do and i get a feeling the ones like your model is based on may have done as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 they are the mf200 trailer wheels on it at min, but i might try out some different ones at some stage, shes still all loose at min,nothings glued in place as more works needed and yes they are yours mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 not sure on that gav, like i say a long time now (8/9 years) since i last used one in anger used to just be a cage that slid under the bales from what i remember, it then became the back....if that makes sense \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 yeah i do get whta you mean, would make sense as they never fell out when i used it,might try and add a couple as they would work on the astro turf i recon,as thers clearance in the fibers for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starbrush Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 my mates carrier does not have a spike at all, bales only 7 high on his 56 bales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I know the pictures a bit on the small side Sean but if you enlarge it slightly you should be able to see some tines/bars going up the back of it, taken off a Browns dealers website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Looking good Sean......Will be a nice set-up there...... I saw one working last year with a Zetor lifting conventional bales from the field......Pics are on my site, fairly far down the "More Collections" list...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Exactly the same as one I was watching the other day near Trowbridge Sean. That had no slides or spikes or owt either. Even if it doesn't lift the bales it will still look the bizzle parked in a farmyard.

Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 heres a question for ya all, i think the one the farm had might have been cooks like the bale sledge,they were both the same blue metallic,and boht were bought at the same time? anyone know if cooks made theses?

richo Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 We still use two of these for hay and straw, is ideal as the farms/ stables we bale for have their own loader and helpers in the yard so we can bale and cart 3000+ bales in a day without touching them. (except for the odd badly built stack which gets knocked over ) Our two 56 grabs have one T shaped spike on the bottom which goes in the middle of the bottom bales, you do have to be careful to back into the stacks squarly otherwise the spike will push a bottom bale out and then either demolish stack or you will pick it up ok and the first you know about it is when the stack falls over in the yard when is put down? Then on the way back to the feild you can pick up the bales thet you dropped on the road ;D! Will try to get some pics when we next use them.

Tractorman810 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 for there time they were great for quick bale moving, we would stack and haul everything with them, with the 290 in the field stacking and the 690 and loader at the barn getting them up as high as it could reach, then we hand stacked the last of it, saved hours of stacking on trailers then unloading the other end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 nice job had 2 where i used to work years ago Logic which had no spike or bar and the other i cant remember name had a bar down the middle. i prefer the 112 bale carrier though not many about now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The one iused many moons ago was a cooke one. It didn't have anthing - spike etc - on the bottom or underneath the stack . What it did have is extra bars on the bottom/back of the sides the pinch the bales in more than the rest of the sides, so (if have totally confused you) the bottom layer of the stack was held tighter than the rest. I remember them riding well when loaded but like a bone shaker when empty. These were a real boon when they came out because prior to that we had to hand ball the bales onto an artic then hand ball them into the shed. Once these came out they came from the field in 56's or 48's for hay, then were lifted into the shed by a duplicate attatchment for the fork-lift - a lot easier. However we were expected to do more!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we were expected to do more!!!!! recon you have confirmed what make it is mate, this one was great loaded, but made a hell of a noise when empty, even on a smooth road, rattled round something terrible, makes sense to as the bale sledge was same colour, the one we had was a 64 bale job, 8 high stacks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
