Lord Ferguson Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Anyone got an opinion of this... I am thinking of investing in one for the loader... a LOT of money though at £4400 :o http://www.strimech.co.uk/product_wh.php?prod_id=9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 What about a standard square bale squeezer If they were good enough for what you want And they don't cost that much \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I've been advised that they are not good enough for the job Scott.... sadly... You need a flat blade with a good surface area... I think some of them have serrations too... and greater gripping power too... shame... but hey ho \ Anyway... I took this pic yesterday as well and forgot to post it...

TM190 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 well, do weights and loader work together : : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Well... yes and no... How is that for an answer... They will be ok with a fork carriage on... as the loader only just catches the outside two weights just as it hits the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Looks very nice. Do you really need a bale grab surely forks would be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi6920 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 She looks spiffy mark, might need to take of the 2 outer weights, could do some damage in the end, Is that loader a Quicke or a stoll? has the quickie look to me \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 I think I will remove two weights when the carriage is fitted mate... the loader is a quickie I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
