got a price on a cashels paddle handler from kerry store recently..500 yoyos..a bit pricey i reckon, get a good home one cheaper. I think the paddle lifters are better unless you intend to leave the bale standing on end, with the paddle you can reverse the bale tight into the ones behind it in a yard without worrying if your handler is tearing the bale behind..also better for picking up flattened out bales

I am making a paddle handler today so far it has cost me €116 which includes brackets for loader and 3" box frame I still have to get 2 spikes and 2 bushings. I made up a paddle handler for another loader 10 years ago that has been sold. When I priced 2 paddles for it back then I was quoted £120, I ended making them myself the pipes cost £6 and hire of pipe bender for a day cost £14 total £20.

I bought 2 tines €108 and bushes €15.80. I have the paddles that I made 10 years so it is costing me about €250 if i had to make the paddles they would cost an extra €50 bringing it to €300.
