CMB Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Has anyone made a round bale fork with a single spike that attaches to a vintage front loader? If it looked anything like NHFE's, I'd snap it up right away. Guess the spike would have to be small enough to fit through old round bales though. I took a photo of a David Brown 995 with one in Dorset about 20 years ago. I'm surprised that Britains didn't release any round bale handling equipment with the old Loadall/front loader sets. For that matter, I haven't seen any round bale handling equipment for the more recent loaders.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordson major Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I think you have made a good job of this and it makes a change to see something different to scratch built buckrakes well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new holland 4 ever Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 thanks everybody, I will be using it on my converted mc 115 with a loader on the front and that on th back (the tractor now has a nearly finished scratch built 3 point linkage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a shade to big so it meant drilling out the Britains bale centres. Like MJ says though, it is an easy thing to have a go at making.

CMB Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I saw a bale prong sitting in one of Brian Norman's trays at Toytrac, but it was snapped up pretty quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
