Spread-a-Bale launches the MEGA High performance straw spreading machine
Spread-a-Bale is extending its M range of straw spreading machines with the Mega designed to enable larger scale livestock producers to handle the biggest and most challenging bales.
Launched this week at the Royal Highland Show, the Mega combines Spread-a-Bale’s standard features including a double acting two-way spool and no low-pressure return line with a set of others including HD (heavy duty) motors to handle high density and compacted bales. The HF (high flow) hydraulic manifold together with 3/4inch pipes offer increased performance and efficiency.
Complete with Hardox wear plates to the front floor section and 1.3m high rotors, the Mega has the capacity to spread all bales – round up to 1.8m diameter while it also includes the XL body option giving it additional 300mm bed length to accommodate rectangular bales up to 2.8m in length. The Mega’s 2VR (two vertical rotors) head delivers an arc spread pattern up to 9m. The machine requires a minimum loader 3.0t lift capacity.
Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes says: “We are pleased to add to our M portfolio of machines the Mega and it’s big, appealing to farmers, particular those operating on a larger scale, to fully utilise their largest bales. Furthermore, we’ve added the HD, HF and bigger hoses to this one, single machine to provide unmatched power enabling it to spread the hardest, compacted bales.”
He continues: “The Mega requires just one materials handler and is able to load one bale in approximately one minute followed by a further minute to discharge and spread thereby demonstrating improved efficiency in terms of systems, labour and diesel usage and like all Spread-a-Bale models, it’s noted for helping farmers to make their straw go further with minimal dust.”
Optional extras: side frame, Feed-a-Bale canopy and galvanised.
The Mega is available from Spread-a-Bale’s global dealer network.
