Double Trough Bale Feeder

The McIntosh Double Trough Bale Feeder has been designed to incorporate strength and ease of use. With a spear loading system and low centre of gravity, the McIntosh Double Trough Bale Feeder leads the way in feeding out machines.

The Double Trough Bale Feeder features two box sections running through the cradle for greater strength and a lower centre of gravity rather than having the feeder on top of the chassis runners.  The trough feeder arms extends to 2040mm from the centre of the tractor, with a hydraulic ram to raise the extension to help get through gates. The raised sides on the extension helps reduce the product from falling off the sides.

Standard Features

EXTENDED SIDES Extended sides on the extension arm helps reduce the product falling off the sides	Feed Arm The trough feed arm extends to 2040mm fromthe centre of the tractor. A hydraulic ram raises the extension to help get through gates	Chequer Plate Stand Chequer plate to stand on when removing netting in one piece. The chassis goes through the cradle reducing the height. This greatly increases stability on hills	Double Rams The double ram loading system lowers the bale gently all the way to the cradle without sudden drops which can damage feed out bars
Lifting Arm The large lifting arm makes the whole lifting frame very strong when travelling with a bale	Stability With 3 axle positions, a low centre of gravity and plenty of ground clearance, our stability is second to none. With the tyres in the above narrow position, the Bale Feeder is still very stable with this 5’3’’ hay bale	Box Steel box to hold plastic wrap. The mesh floor allows water and dirt to fall out which reduces the smell compared to an enclosed box	Tyres Standard tyres are 11.5x15.3, 50mm taller than the common 10.5x15.3 used on most double bale feeders. The taller tyre tows better over rougher ground than the smaller tyre
Axle Width Axles can be adjusted to 3 widths (1620 (left), 1720 & 1940 (right) mm) for different land conditions or to fit wider tyres	Aggression Pins Unique to McIntosh, our aggression pins greatly enhance performance when feeding mouldy wrapped bales or hard centred hay bales. Combined with the short cradle, these provide more resistance to help the teeth rip the bale apart	Bronze Bushes With slow moving shafts and no need for protective covers, bronze bushes which aren’t affected by mud and silage have proven the obvious choice for our Bale Feeders. Proven over 30 years of use, they are strong, simple and will give a longer life than bearings	Chain  12,000lb zinc-plated roller chain is fully guided to prevent it from jumping off
Hydraulic Motor With a capacity of 3000 PSI, our large motor will last a lot longer than a smaller one that is only rated to around 1800 PSI. The 1 ¼” shaft and large keyway is much stronger than a smaller motor and handles direction change with ease	Slats 8mm thick bolt on angle slats and teeth are the strongest on the market and are designed to operate effectively in both directions and help pull the bale apart. The angle slat gives the teeth a bigger rip area compared to box section	Sprocket Large 8 tooth sprocket improves the life and drive of the chain compared to a 6 tooth sprocket
