Single Bale Linkage Feeder ‘RS1’

With the ‘RS-1’ Linkage Feeder we offer a simple-to-use feeder for square and round bales. It requires a little more driver input on the squares, as it is most effective when feeding the slabs from side to side. This Feeder will last the next 20 years with minimum maintenance. Fitted with self-loading forks (which are very handy around the farm) that are driven by the big American hydraulic motor ensuring the bale will rotate and will last the feeders lifetime.

What we have aimed to achieve is:

  • a very robust feeder capable of handling all conditions thrown at it with ease of operation
  • a functional feeder that exceeds your expectations in the field, in strength and in durability
  • that engineering, design and aesthetics of the machine prove to give you maximum longevity
  • a price that ensures the unit is competitive whilst considering ‘like for like’
  • that the optional equipment ensures all customer requirements are catered for

Description

The model shown is the standard RS Linkage feeder fitted with the optional bale retarders, often used when feeding square bales. With a shallow V bed that will cradle the bale as it is fed out, you can achieve a good uniform row via the bi-directional feedout chamber. The robust design, with features you are going to love, guarantees that low maintenance is required. Features like bi-directional feed as standard is making this a feeder chosen by farmers because of its simplicity.

Features

  • All Farmec Linkage feeders are bi-directional feed, so unlike with other brands you can feed on either side on the machine, with either fast un-rolling with the bale or slower teasing against the roll.
  • Optional bale retarders are a recommended choice when feeding big square bales and an optional frame that can fit on the fork frame if required (recommended with chopped bales)
  • Floor chains are heavy duty 2” pitch as standard. This is 6,800lbs breaking strain which is better than a lot of the 3”. As well as increased strength and a cost advantage in the replacement, it also reduces motor torque requirements due to the articulation of 2” over 3” chain. We use a pressed 40 x 40 RHS with aggressive spikes to ensure uniformed feed-out.
  • Self-loading forks which easily fit to the tractor link arms via the double lug jaws with Cat II pins, these are conus machined 60mm solid bar with one tine 100mm longer than the other for ease of aligning.
  • The heavy duty hi-torque American hydraulic motor ensures that every bale will be fed out. The motor connects via the self-meshing heavy duty drive dogs allowing for quick attachment (there is no need to get off the tractor seat). With a quick release rope to the tractor cab or hydraulic locking if needed on steep farms.
