No more forking, spreading, or guessing at coverage. You get even distribution, less waste, and hours back in your day. Do the job once, do it right, and get back to work that matters.
What hydraulic flow do I need on my skid steer?
Requirements scale with the model, typically 8-42 GPM at 3000 PSI depending on size. Check your skid steer’s rated flow against the processor’s hydraulic requirements before ordering, especially if you’re running a high-flow package.
What size bales can a skid steer bale processor handle?
Capacity depends on the model. Compact units handle bales up to roughly 48″L x 36″W x 36″H, while larger commercial models process bales up to 96″ long. Match the bale cavity size to what you’re already baling before you buy.
Can it process both round and square bales?
Most bale processors handle both, though cavity shape and size suitability vary by model. If you switch between round and square bales seasonally, confirm the specific unit is rated for both.
How much coverage can I get done in a day?
A single operator can cover several acres in a day, far outpacing hand spreading. Actual coverage depends on the model size, skid steer power, refill time, and terrain.
Can I use a bale processor for feeding livestock, not just bedding?
Yes. Many operations use the same unit to process hay or straw for feed and bedding, distributing it directly into a pen, feed bunk, or pasture without a second piece of equipment.
