Farmstar Better bale handling with smaller rollers »»MINIMISING DAMAGE TO forage through the movement of bales looks to be significantly improved by the development of Alo’s new bale handler, Flexibal®. “We’ve always known that the movement of wrapped bales is tricky, with many producers incurring wastage through tearing,” says Graham Gould, Alo technical support specialist. It was the prevention of these losses that inspired the production of Flexibal®. “We responded by creating a bale handler with smaller rollers to allow easier access to bales, when moving, stacking or feeding conserved forage. It’s particularly of use for bales that have become squashed in storage, and are difficult to access. The new Flexibal® will soon be available with smaller rollers which have an roller 89mm diameter, compared to the current roller at 129mm. “This allows for easier access for bales that have settled over the winter,” says Graham. Prices for the new Flexibal® start from £1025 retail.
