Pushing up silage

[Suffolksucklers]

We've moved our suckler herd into a new shed and are now feeding them along feed barriers whereas we just used to use large racks. Just feeding dry round bale silage not chopped. Currently just ripping the bales about with the grab on a telehandler which keeps it simple and seems to work ok. However we could do with a pusher to push the stuff they can't reach back in. What works best? Especially on unchopped stuff?

Snowplough can work and gives you dual use if you expect snowy winters but can’t beat a set of tyre pushers

Pallet forks are the best way to feed bales and push it up

Cheapest way is a square bale at 45 degrees or so once you get your eye in

I made this, £80 worth of box section and I had the manitou brackets, sheeted it of course.

why not use a round bale of straw?

i use the bucket on the merlo, soon get the hang of the best angle to sweep the bales up too the barrier

I use a fork, by hand, good exercise!
