Simple, safe and secure
The Hustler SL-350 is not the
average bale feeder. SL feeders have
a reputation for being simple and
reliable machines that tackle many
of the common problems associated
with conventional chain-driven bale
feeders. First, this is a 3 point linkage
mounted single bale feeder suitable
for all types of round bales, even
those 5’ long. The whole unit weighs
just 460 kilogrms and feeds out both
sides. What’s so simple is the self
loading process. The feeding cradle
is disconnected by the pull of a rope.
Back the tractor up and pick up the
bale then move it to the platform.
Peel off the net wrap then position
the bale on the
platform. With a
very low cradle
and no crossbar
the bale loading
is quick and easy.
Next, you drive
the forks into the
feed unit, which
is easily lined up,
and it’s ready to
feed out. The SL350 feeds round
or square bales

and the massive 12,000lb zinc-plated
roller chains offer far higher strength
than any other bale feeder chains.
The similarly zinc-plated chain bars
are also highly durable and the direct
drive system uses the reliability of
hydraulic power efficiently. For safety
and durability the rollers are enclosed
and there’s a high back frame to hold
the bale in place. Superior rigidity
is ensured with a high hook position
and the bale feeder features CAT1
and CAT 2 top and lower links. What
could be simpler while being safe and
secure?
