Alternative uses for 56 bale carrier

[bobk]

In a moment of madness I bought 2 of them , our hay fields are too far away to move 56 bales , better 400 at a time , so what could I reinvent in to , answers on a postcard please

Turn one into a 56 bale grab to load the 400 bales in the field.

reinvent it into money £££, by weighing it in? I hear scrap prices are quite buoyant at the minute

Not very heavy

Could you send it i with maybe 56 washing machines stacked neatly on it?

Scrap yard along with the Cock Pheasant the Hen Pheasant and the Hayblob , make sure it goes through the crusher or some daft farmer will try and rescue it [emoji23]

We had a 56 pick up for a while was handy when close to yard and tight access but apart from that not great.
They seem to make differing money, stick them in first auction people can go to again and will go for £££

They seem very similar to cow catchers, just need a longer ram and 2 half front gates.

cock pheasant,ah memories must be 55yrs since i spent a couple of hay times sometimes over the top others kicking backwards sometimes well offset others straight or with middle swath tines down or up and it never rained or did it pulled by a little grey fergie on 2 bob an hour, oh happy days

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

There great for moving feed bins,

Or put a sheet over them, tip them back over, and its somewhere to have you tea in the hay field in the pi55ing rain,

If he sends it down here I will sell it for silly money to the rewilding muppets as a buffalo catcher.

great tools, used to do over 20000 bales with 2 of them, had the job fine-tuned, stacked in the field with 2 flat 8 grabs, then went round with a length of big bale string and went round the middle tight as to stop the inevitable falling over. If any chance of rain, the old silage bags cut down the seam and 4 stings on the corners, 2 brooms to lift over and tie-down. could pee it down all night and had no worries.

We use one for trips up to 3 km. Wouldnt be without it, even better for delivering out bales straight off the field, arrive tip and leave

Seen 1 with a cattle crush fixed onto it for tipping up bulls to check their feet

We made calf catcher out of 3 point linkage one. Welded loader brackets on and gate. Never did get ram on so just drop it over calf to tag when first born.
