Makes Bale Feeding a Gentleman's Job

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 15, 2012 -- Dread the thought of graping silage? Wish you could spend more time by the fire this winter? UK manufacturer Quad-X can help with the Forager X10 bale unroller, designed to save you time and money this season.

Drawing from their agricultural background and wealth of experience; design engineers at Quad-X have developed this machine to specifically work with wet and saggy bales. Product Specialist Dave says “We know that getting dry bales can be tricky especially with the wet weather in the UK; therefore we have developed a unique bale unroller capable of working wet and saggy bales that have been stacked and are not necessarily the perfect dry rounded bale competing machines require, ensuring you maximise and get the most out of your valuable time with the shorter daylight hours this winter.”

With the tough economic climate, all farmers must save time and money where possible. The ‘Forager X10’ will help you feed livestock in 1/10 of the time with a lot less effort compared to manual graping, reducing wastage and increasing livestock weight gain for greater profitability. No need to shake the bales out with your tractor grab.

The Forager X10 allows you to feed the optimum amount of fresh silage to livestock every day from the comfort of your tractor seat without the need for back-breaking graping. It works faster than any diet feeder and you can easily control the amount of silage dispensed with the adjustable output function as standard. By only feeding the required amount of silage needed on a daily basis the silage is fresher and more palatable to livestock, to give improved intake and more liveweight gain per day - making you money. With less selective eating, less silage is wasted - saving you money.

This system has a unique self-contained loading system to handle round bales (4x4’ or 6’x5’). Simply disengage the bale bed to reveal the spring tines. Reverse up to the bale and the ‘Forager X10’ lifts it and loads it, all at the push of a lever. Pick up the loaded bale bed with the tines and you’re all set and ready to feed. The only time you need get out of the cab is to remove the plastic and netting, which is made simple thanks to easy access while the bale is lifted.

The tines are designed to allow you to lift the bale from lower down to help prevent the bale from falling apart and giving a higher lift height to load the bale bed easily. The Forager X10 tines can also be used as a bale spike.

The ‘Forager X10’ with heavy duty frame and powder-coated finish is mounted on the 3 point linkage and is ideal for getting into tight spaces and narrow passageways. It is suitable for use with tractors of 75hp+ and can feed up both sides of the passage. Drive in and feed one side of the passage, and feed the other as you reverse out. Any leftover silage remains in the ‘Forager X10’ and can be stored in compact bale form until it is needed. The ‘Forager X10’ can also be used to roll out straw to bed houses or for re-baling and can work equally well with round hay bales.
