If the quality of the Cashel's lifter is like their transport boxes, forget it! Fleming is supposed to be good, but is €430 a little steep?
Oh forgot to say the pins and clips were with the one I bought, which is worth a fair bit when dealing with that price range

Have a Cashels bale lifter. My contractor makes five foot bales. Approx fifty percent heavier than normal four foot bale.
Bale lifter is as good today as new. Had a lot of five foot abuse got to date.

Neighbour has a new version of mine. Looked heavier and stronger in my mind.
Always was of opinion Cashels equipment was well made.

Those looks like it can serve a few purposes

Well that's good to hear. That's the real proof. We've a cashels transport box and it would want to be f**ked in the nearest bog hole. And it's not for the amount of work it has done.

Im considering it as i have a low loader but its too high to get the bales on to it and i dont have a front loader.

Also my own handler is ready for scrap heap.

So my options are

A. Buy a spike and a bale trailer
Or
B. buy this and use my existing low loader.


Has anyone used it or have one?

Muckit what sort of one do you have?

I have a cashels 7" powerbox and I thought its very well made. You have me worried now that it wont last.

No it's a transport box not a powerbox I have. Very bad trip design on them. I should (and probably will still) have bought a Mckenna

Yes. One guy in this area, has sold quite a few of them. Popular with fellas who can't justify a loader, but need something to do a bit of stacking, or loading bales onto a trailer.

Saw one working stacking bales. Very handy, and in my opinion look strong and well made. Just my opinion.

Anyone using the Cashels ducks foot handler? Would they be a better option at €500 over the standard handler at €360?

Never liked the ducks handler. It used to burst alot of bales on us

I have a Nugent handler bought new 3 yrs ago. Paint work on them is not the best, it blisters and has rust spots then. They also tend to bag a bit when empty, there is play in the tip area of it. wouldnt buy one again.
Neighbour has a mckenna one, Mighty yoke.
