Most of my cows are several miles from the house. I use a tractor mounted 3 point round bale mover there.

I was just able to get a few acres next to the house and want to feed round bales to a few cows on this new place, but the tractor at home is too small for a 3 point bale mover.

Instead of moving to a larger tractor at home, I"m looking at getting a bumper pull, two-wheel, single-bale buggy; disabling the hand cable winch, and adding on a remote hydraulic cylinder to hoist the round bales with.

Has anyone done or seen this done. Any comments on this idea??

Thanks

Have you looked into a bale bed for a 4x4 pickup. We have a Deweze made in Harper KS. It will pick up a 1800 pound round bale. You can put the bale into a round feeder direct or roll out a whole or partial bale on grass. Comes with Pioneer female bodies at the rear bumper so you can hitch up machinery and lift its hydraulics and pull it just like a tractor down the road. There is a used on in our local farm paper called Grass and Grain. E-mail back and I can get you the phone number if you are interested.

Lots of two wheel hydraulic bale lifts in west Texas. the easy way to rig one, is use the 12 volt hydraulic unit off a lift tailgate.

Several years ago I worked for a farmer that had such a buggy. It had a hand operated pump and cylinder for use with the pick-up truck, or could be quickly switched ove and used behind his 8n Ford by connecting one hose. It worked very well.

A local guy feeds round bales to his horses. He made a trailer out of a small truck. He made a square feeder big enough for the bale, and put that on the trailer. It looks like it works real well.
