Round bale unroller to fit small telescopic.

[Ted M]

As the title suggests really. Have usually fed our dry cows (sucklers) on hay and lick buckets which is simple and worked well.
However we are now faced with possibly losing the rented land we cut the hay on following the death of the owner.
IMO ad-lib silage is too good for dry cows so was considering a bale unroller so could feed all the cows at once down the barrier to avoid bullying/stretch the silage out and let them fill up on barley straw. We don't have a pit so not an option and would have to go on an older JCB 526 so nothing too heavy.
Local dealers have hustler and Wessex on offer. Any views would be appreciated.

Hustler is a great machine , need a wee bit of width in the passage though

The Blaney ones are a bit cheaper and lighter than the Hustler, never seen a wessex one, local dealer has a nearly new Blaney at about £3k i think
