Bale squeezer for front loader

[Al R]

What is the best bale squeezer for wrapped bales and with removable rollers to load straw to. Drier bales will be stacked on end so grabbing at the bottom and lifting vertically is an advantage.

I’ve heard very good things about the Quicke Flexibal. Mchale seem popular but I’ve been told they don’t open much wider than a bale. Anyone used a LWC? Or any other recommendations?

Neighbour has a Fleming. A lot nicer to use than our mchale

We have a 15 yr old quickie Flexibal, does 1500 silage, hay and straw a year, in a variety of stack types, rollers are easily removed, even handles the occasional pallet, i'd buy another.

I've got a Quicke Flexibal, well made and easy to take rollers off.

Got the mchale here no problems opens about 3 inch wider than a nugent

McHale here, only problem is it's a noisy brute on the road.
Mate has a Fleming & it's better built than I thought it would be, quiet too.

Twose here, wouldn't have another though

We just had a new quicke one its good, better with smaller rollers, but if the allbutt one had been available at the time, although another £300 more I'd had that, looks over engineered.
