Based just outside Kilmallock in Co Limerick, Keltec Engineering is set to demonstrate its bale chaser at Grass 2026 next week. The firm will also bring 14” twin arm tree shears, bale slice, combi shear grab, soft hands and concrete bucket to next weeks live event.
Keltec was a pioneer in the round bale chaser business, having been building units for over 30 years now. Today, the company offers three sizes (eight-, 10- and 12-pack options).
Next week, the firm will be taking to the field with its 10-bale pack. As standard, Keltec offers its patented bale load assist rollers, which it says enables bales to be loaded easier and more gently.
While in transport position, its auto-smart locking system for the bale cages means it’s protected against hose failure, driver error or tractor malfunction.
Bale cages
The bale cages are manufactured using 80mm diameter Strenox steel with a 6mm wall, while the pipe work on the side cage is built with 5mm pipe.
The 10-pack comes as standard on a tandem axle with a high-speed double-axle bogey system.
The unit is shod as standard on 550-45 R22.5 tyres, but various options up to 710mm tyres can be ordered as optional extras.
The unit uses a load-sensing brake system, meaning that it’s less severe on the tyres when the machine is empty.
