Anyone run a Hustler bale unroller on a tractor loader. Need to feed silage bales over some high barriers , didn't know if bale movement made it unsafe.
Maybe better with rotating bale spike on front?
120hp tractor with quickie loader available.

Used to do the same until I bought the Fusion. I run with a full bank of knives and it makes better fodder and for the places I can't get the chopper into it makes feeding out easier by far. Can you have your bales chopped at all?Just thinking,a bit better than shaking round bales apart with muck tines.
Would maybe prefer a budget bale spike unroller but don't know how much better a Hustler or similar type would be.
We have a hustler on a telehandler, still use ring feeders and sometimes use the hustler to top them up over the fence or gate, much easier than cutting the bales above the feeder when they are chopped such that they fall to bits the second the net is cut, keeps mess in the field to a minimum and means you can empty a part used bale off the unwinder into the ring.Does anyone feed out in fields with a Hustler or similar? As apposed to ring feeders?
We’ve run one for 3 years now on telehandler. Silage down passages and bedding yards with straw.Hustler on front of loader or telescope loader
is silage dropping off in front of wheel an issue?
can a chute be added or mounting offset be a solution for this ?
Tend to feed out in reverse, although have an outside pass that I use crab steer for to avoid tramping the feed, can go either way then.Hustler on front of loader or telescope loader

Crab steer would be handy but my loader is articulated so can’t doTend to feed out in reverse, although have an outside pass that I use crab steer for to avoid tramping the feed, can go either way then.
They feed both ways if there the locally manufactured ones...One general question about hustler -
I’ve never seen one only on promotional videos does it matter which way the bale goes on - will the bale unwind one way better than the other ie. Same or opposite way it was made ?
Thanks
