"Bale-Barrow" Hay Handler BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 26-5-28 The "Bale-Barrow" is an easy way to move bales around the farm, says A.G. Products, Inc., Alamo, Nevada. It's about 6 ft. long and weighs 27 lbs. It consists of two movable arms that attach to a single wheel on front. The arms have forks on them, and there's also a pair of forks mounted just behind the wheel. To pick up a bale, you back the wheel into the bale until the forks behind the wheel dig in. Then you lower the arms and push them in so the forks dig into the hay, allowing the bale to be lifted. Pulling the arms apart releases the bale. "The center of gravity is low so you don't get the tipping that you can get from a wheelbarrow," says Jace Agee. Sells for $229 plus S&H. A flatbed attachment is available that lowers to the ground for hauling partial bales, mineral or salt blocks, firewood, feed sacks, etc. Sells for $80 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, A.G.
