You Asked And We Listened: The New Side Chute Attachment For Chain Bale Feeders

Trough feeding with a conventional chain type bale feeder? Needing some sort of attachment to deliver the feed more accurately, minimizing waste and increasing ease of use? We listened and we delivered: Introducing our new product attachment, the side chute for bunk feeding with Hustler Unrolla series bale feeders.

Our new side chute attachment extends the feed drop point of your Unrolla chain bale feeder and will assist with feeding into troughs, bunks, along hot-wires, or up against head-bails for indoor feeding. Not only is it a time and feed waste saver, it also allows your tractor to drive down passageways or along fences and bunks with more clearance, reducing the chance of damage to your tractor or tires.

Why

Farmers are a a solution focused bunch and because this is the first attachment of it’s kind on the market, some of them had to previously make their own side extensions. We contacted a handful of those inventors and worked together with them to develop a solution, that would satisfy the need for trough feeding with a conventional chain bale feeder.

How

The side chute has an adjustable angle for the operator to fine-tune delivery and reach. Equipped with a solid steel frame and impact resistant high-density polyethylene it is shock and knock resistant, while also being flexible enough to forgive any misjudgments when driving along bunks or fences too close.

For

Although the side chute will work for balage with some operator adjustments, as proven here by one of our Irish customers, we do recommend you use it for dry hay, short chopped grass, grain and root-crops for best results. Feeders especially designed and developed for trough feeding are our series of Chainless bale feeders, which will handle every type and shape of bale, or our Feedlot Unrolla LM105T with tilting side elevator for maximum reach.
