Bale Bucker
The Solution for an
unused hay rack.
Can't
always have a loader tractor nearby when you need it. And you
don't always have two people to help load hay with a winch
system. Bale Bucker lets you load 4 bales from the ground to
your hay rack before you need to go on top and stack them. A lot
of smart folks told me they were going to invent something like
this, but too late, it's here and it's great !
I see several
trailer ladders that are just plain flimsy. Bale Bucker comes
with a heavy duty solid ladder rated at 280 lbs, how did they
know my size? |
My kind of work, pushing a
button. You just pin the bale cradle to the ladder lift, add a bale and
push the button. All made solid with powder coated steel, even the
button is heavy duty. A simple design similar to a garage door rail,
easy to install. No really, we've done many truck accessory installs
here like air filter boxes and exhaust pipes. They say one hour install
and three hours later we're still trying to get it all to fit. But the
Bale Bucker can be installed in 30 minutes with 2 people and a drill.
The screws and nuts are self locking. On top of the ladder is the steel
box with the electric motor. The box is also a platform for the bale to
set on and get placed in the hay rack by the next bale. A well thought
out design and strong enough to outlast your trailer. Nine seconds a
bale gets the chores done fast too.
    
 Your
Bale Bucker comes in one box, mine came UPS, 103 lbs. It's wrapped up
like King Tut's mummy. Carefully padded to keep the finish looking
great. Instructions tell you to lay the ladder on the bubble wrap to
bolt together. You'll have plenty of bubble wrap after you unwrap it.
The ladder brackets have
padding to protect your trailer skin. The ladder steps have traction
strips. When the bale cradle is at the top of the ladder, it doubles as
a hand rail so you can safely climb in the rack.
