Bale Thrower Attachment
Blue tractor in hay field pulling red bale thrower that is ejecting rectangular bales into a brown hay wagon with 3 high sides. Blue sky background.

A Bale Thrower Attachment (also called a Kicker or Ejector) on a small square hay baler throws bales through the air and into a trailing wagon. Workers who have difficulty lifting, carrying, or stacking bales of hay can use this device to gather bales from the field and haul them to the storage facility. The hydraulic-powered device reportedly tosses bales 38 inches long and weighing 65-70 pounds. Bale Thrower Attachments are designed for use with specific makes/models of small-square balers. Most versions of this time- and labor-reducing attachment also have mechanisms that allow for adjustment of both distance (via belt-speed or kick-power) and direction.

Caution symbol Caution Notes: Workers should stay clear of both Bale Thrower and bale landing zone during operation.
