Getting a baler into a curtain sider

[roscoe erf]

buy or make a drawbar hitch for the telehandler. You'll use it a million times more than you'd realise.
Far safer and easier to push trailed things with handler than try to reverse with tractor

as long as you've got ramps

9 hole drawbar on the front linkage works well too, good for offset stuff too like wee square baler.

Yes used that technique.
A hitch on the telehandler is a different world though.
You would use one for shunting trailers (or anything trailed) round the yard before you ever thought of hitching a tractor up

Still waiting for the wagon
Decided to lift it onto our bale trailer then spin it round and push it on with 3cx back actor
Last time something went to poland took 6 month before it was collected

You might get chance to use it for first cut.

 

[Dman2]

If its still here it will get used

Just be careful "flicking it" with the 3CX back actor did that, to take a car off a trailer and it didn't end well.
To my surprise, the chain only controls things in one direction, the car had other ideas and went straight into the side of the back bucket. Taking out the back quarter panel .........

I was well annoyed that day

Depends on what baler but sometimes you can turn the wheels round to make them narrower.

Sometimes balers will need slave steel or wooden wheels to fit in containers or curtainsiders. Local dealer who sells balers should have enough of them in exchange for a Christmas beer tocken!!!

That's how you do it

Dad likes to move trailers with hooks on manitou front carriage. Often bending them!

It's my own designed and made thing. I did a bit of a run of 10 last winter. Picks machines up without getting off the seat. Swivel hook for chains and a drawbar. Unbelievably handy tool.

Needs one with a 3m side drawbar so you can drive alongside trailer and push baler into wagon.

 

[Landy Nick]

Just need a towbar on the curtain sider and tow baler back to Poland.
