Single Bale Linkage Feeder ‘R1-1’

$14,344

Our most popular model, fitted with the unique rota shredder that turns 25% faster than the bale. This is ideal if you plan to feedout different types of feed. It is also a very simple to operate feeder that 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 a big American hydraulic motor. This ensures that the bale will rotate and is going to last the feeder’s 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 has the rota shredder fitted to one side which is ideal for any odd-shaped round bale or bales that have a tight crust or straw material that is matted. With the half deep cradle holding the bale tight and rota shedder combination this is by far our most popular model as it aggressively tears the product running 25% faster than the floor chain. This creates a nice aerated uniform row (and of course still bi-directional if required).

Features

  • All Farmec Linkage feeders are bi-directional feed, so – unlike with other brands – you can feed on either side of the machine. With either fast un-rolling with the bale or slower teasing against the roll.
  • Fitted with a heavy mesh headboard with RHS frame keeping the product contained 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 others 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.
