Bale squeezer are better than the tube one imo. Might upgrade next year

Why are bale squeezers better do you say Reggie? You mean soft hands aye? I like the versatility of the rollers ones especially as the only thing we have for the loader at the moment is a sheer grab

Less chance of tearing or spiking the bale. Can lift up two bales on there ends to get 4 or 5 high. Easier to lift off a trailer when loaded on their ends. Worked both and only use the soft hands. A bale spike can be got cheap enough separately

Id agree with Reggie, a spike is easy got cheap, and your not wearing out the handler for the sake of it.

We have both a mchale roller type and the soft hand type, i quite like the soft hand if loading a trailer or stacking hayledge on ends, but find we use the roller type more for just doing silage in the round. As it means you have a bit more reach rather than having to have the stacker dumped out fully when trying to reach in across.

With the roller type personally id rather the mchale or rossmore/Connor over the Fleming as the first 2( Connor and rossmore are the same handler) have a decent back plate so if you shove against a bale it has a bit more surface hitting it, and thats after using all 3 of above.

I would agree with gg tho looked at prodig the other day in dealers and its a fair lump of stuff but thought it might be a bit heavy on smaller tractor loader

That's what I'd be afraid of. How heavy would you think it is.

All were going to use it for is taking a second bale in from the field and just stacking one ontop of the other, wont be stacking much higher than that and we dont use bale trailers or anything. What are the soft hands like for travelling with a bale? Would the extra weight be much? Its going on a 90hp landini.

We wouldn't make a savage amount of bales either just bits and pieces of second cut and strong paddocks.

They could be 300kgs.
I hate the McHale stacking straw. Curse of a yok. Pick two bakes up and the roll all over the place.
With the prodig that can't happen as ram is on bottom

What would ya make of this one. I like the way it let's the bale into the loader so less pressure on it

The squeezers ain't the best for carrying bales

I did read the plate on it and i think it was listed but cant remember now, but it'd be a fair bit heavier than the mchale...

For what your looking to do Conor id stick with the mchale or the likes, should be able to get one of them for around 1k, soft hands would generally be a bit more i think.

Actually the goweil is the daddy of them really, rollers are on bearings and the 2 legs have a link between them so that they have to open and close At the same rate, they'd be a rare yoke here tho, and think at the time we got the mchale they were over 1600....

This is the one i meant, have used one a good bit and its a very steady, although i personally would prefer a solid back plate rather than the 2 hoops, we had to tape over the bolts that hold in the pins as they could rip the plastic,

Help if i added the link;
