Thanks to its twin satellite wrapping arms which rotate around the bale, instead of the standard table wrapper which spins the bale, the G5012 is able to quickly wrap and put an airtight seal on all kinds of bales, whether they are heavy, light, or even misshapen.

The thick rubber belts and rotating bale guide rollers of the wrapping table guarantee that the bale will be steadily rotated to ensure a uniform overlap of the film.

The work position is shifted to the right, meaning bales are picked up from the front of the wrapper and in the same direction of travel as the baler. This bale pick-up works reliably even in the most difficult terrain. After wrapping, the bale is dropped off of the rear of the wrapper on its round side, or on its flat side with the optional bale tipper.

Goweil also offers a selection of stationary bale wrappers with integrated engines that make “wrapping at the stack” simple and efficient.

The new ‘PLUS’ series balers are available with a range of intake systems, with a choice of Feeder Fork, PowerFeed rotor, 14 and 25 knife SuperCut chopping systems, and maximum bale sizes of 1.65m, 1.75, and 2.0m depending on the model.

Performance-enhancing upgrades include a redesigned roller crop press that is able to lift higher in large crops, while the side support arms have also been strengthened and incorporate improved limit stops. Enhanced protection against wrapping of crops is also provided for the bearings which have now been mounted inside the roller.

The 2.2m pick-up reel, which features twin-cam tracks and five tine bars, has also been given a makeover, with 10mm longer tines and wider strippers to improve cleaning in wet crop conditions. The pick-up drive chain has also been increased in size for added durability.

The driveline has received attention and is now equipped with new long-life HBC specification chains providing higher fatigue strength and increased wear resistance compared to the conventional chains. The bale chamber has not escaped attention either, with new design idler rollers which benefit from a 45% increase in bearing diameter, along with larger internal grease capacity and improved shielding. A continuous central shaft also provides enhanced rigidity.

With the arrival of the new generation, it was considered appropriate to rethink the mission: what are we? The vision. What do we want to be? and also, the values that Arcusin wishes to convey. What are we about?

Mission: Manufacturer of high-tech, specialist farming machinery in the bale handling sector

Vsion: Leaders in the innovative/patented technology sector

Values: Agile, Responsible, Committed, Useful, Helpful, Innovative, Noble

Rethinking all these questions will require each and every one of the members of the company to carry out a comprehensive review of the objectives of each department, following the main guiding thread of: speed-up engineering to boost existing markets.

The result is more than 38 projects that were presented during a briefing on December 20^th last year at Llotja de Lleida, and which was attended by every team that makes up Arcusin. Divided into 3 groups: customers and markets, machines and services, and internal organisation, each department presented an overview of its projects.

To round off the day with a smile, we took the opportunity to acknowledge the work of some of our colleagues and the prizes awarded were many and varied, such as for the “Best Partner”, the “Best Good Morning” or the “Most hard-working”.

The 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, but 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 solution-focused bunch and because this is the first attachment of its kind on the market, some of them had to previously make their own side extensions. Hustler 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, Hustler does 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 the brand’s series of Chainless bale feeders, which will handle every type and shape of the bale, or its Feedlot Unrolla LM105T with tilting side elevator for maximum reach.

With the help of a Hustler Chainless mounted bale unroller he can still easily feed his cattle from the comfort of his tractor seat, without having to jump in and out of the cab frequently or pulling a rope to disconnect the feeder.

“There are only two flat spots on this farm: the bed and the table”

Bob jokes. Rolling hill country can be hard to navigate, especially in winter. The Hustler Chainless bale unrollers are compact, light and safe for hilly terrain, which will guarantee operation wherever your tractor goes.

The couple from Ponderosa Ranch bought their first Hustler 15 years ago and have recently decided to equip a second tractor with a Hustler Chainless bale feeder, as their property has become more spread out.

“A good and strong product”

Bob especially appreciates the ease of use of the machine, the compact size, which makes it easy to get through gates and the easy loading process with integrated tynes. The Hustler Chainless mounted bale unroller is perfect for a one-man-operation and for Bob it means that at 77, he can still feed all of his cattle from the comfort of his tractor seat.  About Hustler Equipment, Bob says:

“From a company point of view they’re easy to work with”.

Another strong feature of our Chainless bale unrollers is the patented auto-connection system Snaplox, which makes loading and connecting the bale feeder easy.

12 Advantages of the Snaplox Hand-Free Connection System:

1. No need to pull on a rope, whilst simultaneously juggling the 3 point linkage lift height and reverser
2. No more strain or twisting of your back
3. No hydraulics
4. No need to pull on a hydraulic lever to disconnect
5. No need to remember to reset a hydraulic lever to enable it to lock again
6. No wasted time plugging in extra hydraulic remotes
7. No need to wait for hydraulics when disconnecting
8. No smashed rear windows
9. No accidental disconnection
10. No twisting of the frame
11. Works on front-end-loaders opening up a huge efficiency and versatility advantage
12. Just simple reliable, a mechanical action that is seamless and fool-proof and operates naturally

There really is a model for everyone who is looking at increased efficiency and profitability from a round bale feeding point of view and we have put together a summary of what makes this bale feeder one of the best. 

A Clever Machine

A game-changer for indoor feeding in dead-end, narrow stables as the Unrolla headstock connects from both sides of the feeding cradle and feeds out to both sides!  It is also lightweight and compact enough to be operated with small tractors or loaders for increased maneuverability.  Feeds out all round bales, hay or baled silage, loose silage, maize, fodder-beet and even mis-shapen bales. The integrated tines for easy loading mean there is no need for another tractor to load the feeder. The large chamber takes up to 5-foot (1,5-metre) long bales and 1,250 kg load.

Features

Thanks to the fully enclosed Polyethylene floor there is no risk for feed to fall out. It is also UV and shock resistant and doesn’t corrode like floors made from steel. The slipperiness of the polyethylene reduces torque and makes it easier to turn bales compared to a steel surface.

They use the toughest roller chains on the market with larger diameter rollers and pins for less wear and longer life. The extra-strong shark teeth are designed to release the feed at precisely the right moment and can easily be swapped for a flatter option or replaced, as the system is bolted on. 

Self-aligning bearings easily outlast any type of bush system and require less maintenance and grease. Bearing covers keep the bearings clean, reducing maintenance and downtime while the drive shaft eliminates silage wrapping on shafts and jamming sprockets. 

Snaplox System

Their patented Snaplox System is a hands -free auto connect and disconnect system that lets you disconnect the feeder by simply lowering it to the ground. Simple as 1-2-3!

1. Disconnect cradle
2. Load bale
3. Feed bale

No more pulling on a rope. Uneven ground does not affect the Snaplox auto-latch thanks to clever Hustler engineering.
