[QUOTE="MOG, post: 5787092, member: 1649"] Mainly in the bunkers. I hate fing feeders and will not have anymore when the last ones have rusted out. But in the past I have lost a ewe and had several more trapped feeding whole bales in the bunkers. Also find there is FAR less waste if one bale is spread between 3 feeders each day, rather than sticking in 3 bales every 3 days. More work I know, hence wish to find a suitable tool to help. Plus unwinding a bale by hand on the spikes is not without some risk too. Eventual plan is to erect feed barrier inthe lambing shed rather than bunkers to any unroller will be used in that scenario too. BTW I am thinking more of the Hustler type unroller than the spinning spikes on a loder type of yore..... As an aside. Has anyone used the Hustler type for simply feeding a bles out by unrolling direct to the pasture? I see it in videos but the ground here is pretty wet and whenever I have unrolled a bale down a field I have only ever ended up with a long poached stripe and 3 years of Docks to show for it!
