Which Bale Sledge?

[Shane s]

I have bought 2 bale sledges from 2 different dealers 1 is a cooks 4 + 8 windrower type sledge and the other one is a browns compacter B (standard 8 bale sledge). I bought the browns after the cooks as i liked the look of it and i thought it looked like it would work well.

Has anybody got any experience with both and which works the best or are they equally as good.

The reason im asking is because the browns looked good to me but the cooks are always a dearer sledge from what i can see.

If it's the tube type Browns then the Cooks is the one to use, every time.

Simpler and you can drop the pack where you want them, not where the sledge needs to.

We have had both, Browns was more of a flat 7,Cooks much better and you can drop the packs where you want.

Ive used both,got a late type browns which works well unless on a sideslope,cooks works better cos it uses levers instead of springs.
