Feeding a large number of bales per day can be a time-consuming and labour-intensive task for operators. That’s why we developed the BaleXpress Multi-Bale Feeder, designed specifically to increase efficiency and convenience – for those who are feeding more than half a dozen bales a day. With its impressive features and exceptional performance, BaleXpress is set to transform the way operators handle bales.
4 Reasons to Choose BaleXpress
- BaleXpress is capable of feeding round or square bales of any size and any feed type. Whether you’re working with tight dry hay bales, straw, or loose fine chopped baleage, this feeder handles it all efficiently without blocking or waste. The adjustable sides allow for accommodating current and future bale sizes, ensuring maximum flexibility.
- We understand the frustrations associated with multiple tractor and operator movements when loading bales and using other multi-bale machines. With BaleXpress, we’ve minimised these inconveniences. You only need to leave the cab once to undress the bales, and there are fewer tractor movements required per load. Say goodbye to unnecessary trips in and out of the cab, saving you time and effort.
- The BaleXpress boasts the most compact multi-bale feeder design on the market per bale count. This compactness allows for easier negotiation of gateways and maneuvering, making your job a breeze compared to other machines. No more worrying about cutting corners or damaging gate posts. Additionally, the design of the sides enables effortless loading from either side or the rear, while providing impressive visibility over the feeder.
- We believe in keeping things simple without compromising on reliability. BaleXpress features a hydraulic cylinder design for the rear floor, eliminating the need for rear floor chains. This not only simplifies maintenance but also reduces the chance of breakdowns. Our simple control system gives you maximum control over the feeding windrow, while tilting elevator ensures accurate feed placement, preventing unnecessary waste.
Key Features
Adjustable Sides
- The BaleXpress sets itself apart with its unique adjustable sides, allowing it to accommodate bales of all sizes and shapes. From round to square and even out-of-shape bales, including those up to 6′ in diameter or 5′ long, the BaleXpress handles them with ease.
Chainless Rear Floor
- Say goodbye to chain-related issues. The Hustler pusher design, powered by a hydraulic cylinder, eliminates the need for chains, sprockets, bearings, or shafts that can break or require constant maintenance. The bales are always efficiently pushed forward into the feeding chamber, regardless of how they are loaded.
Extra Tough Floors
- Experience the durability of our puckboard floors, designed to be both slippery for easy bale movement and exceptionally tough for long-lasting use. We are so confident in their durability that we offer a 10-year warranty on floors.
Visibility
- Safety and ease of operation are paramount, which is why we focused on improving visibility during both feeding and loading operations. With BaleXpress, you can enjoy excellent visibility, reducing the risk of accidents and making your job easier.
Toughest Axles
- Our BaleXpress boasts the toughest axle design on the market, featuring large pins and ample surface area. This design ensures longevity and prevents premature tire wear, even when dealing with the toughest bales.
Self-Aligning Bearings
- We prioritise reliability and reduced maintenance, which is why our double-sealed heavy-duty 4-bolt bearings with trash shields are preferred by farmers over bushes. By mounting them outboard of the feeding chamber, we prevent silage from wrapping or damaging the seals.
Bisalloy Sprockets
- Our 6-tooth sprockets, made from Bisalloy (the same robust material used in bulldozer blades), deliver the unmatched durability for demanding conditions. With exceptional strength and longevity, they provide reliable performance. Featuring smaller diameters, these sprockets reduce torque, oil flow, revs, and heat in your hydraulic system, ensuring efficient and powerful operation. Experience smooth and reliable operations with our durable sprockets.
Covered Shafts
- Enhance the efficiency and reliability of your bale handling with the BaleXpress and its innovative covered shaft design. No more feed wrapping around the shafts or jamming, as the covered shaft design minimises such issues. This smart feature ensures smooth operation, reduces downtime, and optimises the overall performance of the machine.
Chain Tensioners
- BaleXpress embarks built-in chain tensioners. These convenient features enable easy adjustment of the pre-set chain tension, ensuring that your machine operates at its best and maintains reliable performance. With hassle-free chain tension adjustment, you can have peace of mind and focus on maximising productivity.
Scale Ready
- Elevate your feed management with the BaleXpress and its compatibility with our innovative FeedLink feed weighing and management system. Whether you opt for factory-fitted scales or choose to have them installed by our authorised dealers later on, the BaleXpress empowers you to optimise feed management, unlock valuable insights, and realise cost savings.
Protected Hydraulics & Electrics
- The hydraulic and electric components of the BaleXpress feature a simple and reliable design. The valves are securely protected from the elements under an easily accessible cover, ensuring their longevity and uninterrupted performance.
Load Dividing Design
- BaleXpress’ load-dividing design reduces the strain on all drives, resulting in a longer-lasting machine. Additionally, the reduced travel distance of the floors per load prevents wear and tear, distinguishing it from other wagons.
Gearbox Drives
- Hydraulic gearbox drives are coming as standard equipment, eliminating moving parts, improving reliability, and increasing drive power for enhanced performance.
Internally Ported Rams
- Hustler uses another clever innovation with internally ported rams, eliminating hose failures and reducing downtime.
Central Greasing
- The BaleXpress models come equipped with a standard central greasing station for the axle, making it convenient to lubricate even the difficult-to-access grease points.
Ground Clearance
- With the largest ground clearance on the market, the BaleXpress elevator ensures optimal safety by keeping the working parts of the machine out of harms way, even in undulating terrain, eliminating the risk of damage.
Protected Motor Drives
- Protected for enhanced safety and reliability, the hydraulic motors are securely shielded.
