TG 10-16-2005 18:56:55 164.58.7.194 99064 Report to Moderator	Most of my cows are several miles from the house. I use a tractor mounted 3 point round bale mover there. I was just able to get a few acres next to the house and want to feed round bales to a few cows on this new place, but the tractor at home is too small for a 3 point bale mover. Instead of moving to a larger tractor at home, I"m looking at getting a bumper pull, two-wheel, single-bale buggy; disabling the hand cable winch, and adding on a remote hydraulic cylinder to hoist the round bales with. Has anyone done or seen this done. Any comments on this idea?? Thanks [Reply]   [Send Email]

Attach them to small tractors or trucks to make bale moving a snap for smaller farm operations. A Tumblebug is a one-man time-saving machine that requires no winches, no ropes, and no hydraulics. Tumblebugs are self-loading, quality built, and ready for the big bales.   [Reply]   [No Email]

A couple of years ago we had some hay "disappearing" off of a remote farm. Those trailers make a unique track when the wheel locks to roll the bale on. (this one worked with a brake on one wheel, not sure if the pictured one works the same) Only ONE of those trailers in the neighborhood!!! LOL   [Reply]   [Send Email]
