Auto Align ® Bale Runner 16K

The Auto Align® Bale Runner 16K is a patented machine with additional patents pending.

Computer controlled to maximize speed and simplify operation Allowing one person to road-side 80 - 100 tonnes per hour. The Bale Runner can pick up; 18 - 3x3, 12 - 4x3, or 8 - 4x4 bales. To pick up and load bales the operator toggles only the loader switch. The computer determines the motion of the Alignment Arms, Loader, Grab Hooks and Power Slide depending on the position of the loader switch and the position of the bales through the loading cycle.
Timed detents are incorporated into the program of the computer to allow for the operator to hold a switch momentarily to signal the computer to complete the action started. This helps to eliminate hand fatigue.
Three manual switches control the motion of the Bed, Hitch, and Push off. These switches are used only once per load.
All switches are monitored by the computer to make sure the mechanisms do not crash into each other, eliminating accidental repair costs. The operator can manually control all the mechanisms if the automatic motions are not working right to load and stack bales.

881 & 1400 Hay Hiker

The unique pick-on-the-go features turn this task into a fast and easy one-man operation resulting in significant savings in fuel and labour. The adjustable heavy duty bale fork (1) easily lifts any large round bale. A bale turner (2) on the inner arm eliminates stress and allows bales to be picked up in any direction. The bale deflectors (3) gently rolls the bale onto the bed frame. The adjustable bale stop (4) reduces push bar cycle time by positioning the bale, close to the push bar (5) which effortlessly moves the bales along the smooth bed surface eliminating wrap and twine damage.

The 881 easily picks up and hauls twelve (48") or eight (60", 63", 72") round bales at approximately six tons per load.

The 1400 quickly picks up and transports eighteen (48"), fourteen (60", 63") or twelve (72") round bales at approximately fifteen tons per load.
The 881 & 1400 are exceptionally well balanced to ensure safety and stability in transport. A heavy-duty under carriage lets you carry a large pay load and provides a smooth ride even in rough field conditions. Combined with safety lights and a compact design the Hay Hiker lets you get into the next field quickly.
The 881 & 1400 Hay Hiker is a simple cost efficient round bale carrier designed to move large round bales from the field to storage quickly and efficiently.
