We have for sale a Ferris bale loader that is a ground driven hay pop up. This may be an antique, but the great thing is it is working condition and ready to use and go haul hay. We used this piece of equipment in the hay fields ourselves for 27 years and just went to using a hay accumulator/grapple a few years ago so we are no longer using the pop up.
With this type of Ferris wheel bale loader hay pop up hooked to a trailer a single person (2 is great) can stack a trailer nicely with the bales coming up the chute and ready to put in place on the trailer. It is so much less work having the bales come to you exactly the same way every time. Once you figure out your stacking pattern it is really a slick piece of equipment. I know the hay haulers over the years loved the bale pop up.
There are images available online of this model being used in the hay fields which would give you a better idea if you have not seen this model in use.
**I have been told that this would be great to use this with a horse drawn hay trailer and would be really nice addition for farms that want to stay away from fuel powered equipment.
Thanks for looking. Text is best for contacting us
