Keltec self-loading bale transporter
Limerick manufacturer Keltec’s bale transporter is available in eight-bale and 10-bale sizes, with single and twin axles respectively. Moving up to 100 bales per hour in ideal conditions make these bale-chasers a very efficient one-man operation. Tyre sizes are 550 22.5 and 560 22.5. Each chaser comes standard with the auto smart locking system eliminating the need for straps or ropes. Options such as the patented easy-load guide rollers make it simple to operate even for novice operators. Prices start at €17,000 + VAT (£14,868 + VAT) for an eight-bale model and €21,500 + VAT (£18,804 + VAT) for a 10-bale model.
The SlurryKat BaleMaster trailer uses individually controlled hydraulic side gates or clamps which are raised and lowered from the cab of the tractor for restraining the bales once loadedSlurryKat is better known for its slurry handling equipment, but at last year’s National Ploughing Championships the company introduced a trailer designed for moving bales without the need to tie them down with straps or ropes.
The trailer uses individually controlled hydraulic side gates or clamps which are raised and lowered from the cab of the tractor for restraining the bales.
The trailer comes with 550/45R22.5 flotation tyres as standard, with other options available depending on customer requirements. A full LED light package including a rear-facing warning strobe beacon are standard, as is a sprung drawbar. To restrain the bales, the full length heavy-duty steel clamp on each side of the trailer is lowered, the bales are loaded, and then the clamps are raised.
The advantage of such a trailer is very quick turnaround times from field to farm as each row doesn’t have to be tied down. Prices for this trailer start from €16,000 plus VAT (£13,992 plus VAT).
Wilson Engineering Super Move 10
The Super Move 10 can move 10 4x4 round bales at one time without the need for a dedicated loader in the field to load the balesWilson Engineering, based near Crettyard, Co Laois, manufactures the Super Move 10, which, as its name suggests, can move 10 4x4 round bales at one time without the need for a dedicated loader in the field to load it. The implement uses two double-acting spool valves and requires no electrical connection apart from trailer lights.

Joskin hydraulic side ladders
Belgian company Joskin are now offering the option of hydraulic side ladders for its range of Wago bale trailerBelgian company Joskin is now offering the option of hydraulically raised sides for its range of Wago bale trailers, eliminating the need to tie down bales before leaving the field. Hydraulic side ladders which are hinged from the front and rear of the trailer are raised and lowered from the cab. A neat safety feature of these side ladders is the inclusion of check-valves in the hydraulic circuitry, which saves them dropping suddenly should a hydraulic hose burst. Both sides can be lowered individually. The main structure is made of round tubing to avoid damaging the bales, especially important for freshly wrapped bales. According to Joskin, the ladders can be used with a range of both round and square bales depending on the bale dimensions.
