Small Square Bale Sweep

Mounted to a 25-35 hp tractor’s front-end loader or a skid steer, the Small Square Bale Sweep allows one person to pick up and stack 14″x18″ or 16″x18″ bales without pushing or dragging them across the ground, then (once accumulated) to load them onto a trailer or hayrack. Pick up and load or accumulate for a grapple. Inconsistent bale length is not an issue. Available are 6-, 8-, and 10-pack units, one for 15″x22″ three-string bales, a 4-pack grapple/accumulator unit, and a unit that will pick up mini round bales.

Cost: $2,950/6-bale; $3,350/8-bale; $3,700/10-bale
