I put a pallet on the under the bale. It lifts the bale up abit, so the sheep can eat it down further. Going to try what others recommended above if turning the ring feeder upside down. See if it stops sheep from climbing into the feeder.

How's the Hustler with well chopped silage, also does it matter which way the bale goes in?
Cheers
Another trick I used to do before the unroller. If you use 3 segments of a ring feeder and make a cloverleaf shape and place a 56 gallon oil drum in the centre. I then balanced a bale on end on top of the barrel and after removing the net it would fall down into the feeder leaving the middle up on top. When the feeders were almost empty I went round with a fork and pulled a bit more down until the bale was gone. Worked well enough in the sheds.
then they can drag it all out on the floor , lolGet your baler man to chop th silage
What make of bale unroller would folk recommend for use with a MF35, please?

yes quite agree but trying to point out be better behind a barrier rather than fed in a ringIntakes are increased from chopping, compared to bales of long material, which is surely the aim unless you are trying to limit intakes for some reason?

She's not anymore. She was back doing the same thing the following day, so in the end she got a bus ticket to the factory. Always one !!!You are lucky.......its still alive
