pricies so far
:39inch stone fork tines somewhere between 50 and 60 euro
:bushes 15 euro
brackets will be roughly 50
the paddles from rohan engerring in limrick are 120 inc vat and i think carrage will be 20 more
il make the frame and get the holes drilled for bushes and make up that for start then get the brackets on the sort paddles after
if i could get paddles made 42 inches long and 12 inches wide would that work if i got the holes bored and brackets made plus paddles made in same place it might not big as big a bill hopefully
but il need some design on paper or something
new bale handler is 500 €uro
but this is a bale handler for wraped bales ,wraped bale stacker,hay/straw bale handler ,stacker
pallett forks
thats 5 uses plus many more so if i could make it for under 320 which will be tight have loads of galvinised pipes lieing around anyway

That look like a handy bale handler you made there. But I just can't figure how could you stack wraped bales with it ? Would it not rip the bale below when ya would go to pull out ?0 -

I manage fine with this one.
I'm guessing it would be much the same.
bales do need to be collected and stacked fairly lively after wrapping, before they start to flatten out at the bottom.
Actually that reminds me, I know a lad who actually has the very same set up as yourself there and he puts his bales up 3 high with it, all on their flat, it would not be the tidiest looking though stack as the bales do sag in the winter, but I suppose it saves space :cool:0 -

Fitted crow flaps a few weeks ago. The plastic is stuff you can get to protect hall floors....
Not as heavy as the stuff used in factory made creeps, but it's doing the job at only a fraction of the price

The 'Daddy' of all bale trailers....

This is a quick snap of a neighbour who has been proper busy in the workshop.
It's an articulated logging lorry body that he's added a drawbar to and pulls with a JCB Fasctrac. He can bring 24 bales of silage on it and can load it with the grab from the roadside. The grab reaches in over the ditch = no ploughin up the land!0 -

Firstly can I say that I am not for one minute laying claim to being the originator of this handy tip, it was someone on F&F that I got the tip from in the first place, can't remember who..... blue5000 possibly?
Anyhow I tried it last night and thought it was genius!.... so I said I'd post for everyone's benefit........
You can buy the roll of undergate cabling, but it's expensive and alot of them, unless you buy the known brands, are of dubious quality and will rust quickly, creating poor contacts. A piece of HT wire treaded through hydrodare pipe is the way to go, and is widely used by fencing contractors. But how to get it through successfully, especially on a long run? (the length I did was ~35') The end of the wire can start to curl inside in the pipe and dig in..:mad:
I got a 25mm tec screw and tied a length of polywire to it, then covered the treads with insulating tape. I then fired up the compressor and shot the screw up the tube using an air hose. You need the pressure high, the hydradare straight and the tec screw (or similar) needs to be close to the diameter of the pipe (so that it's like a bullet going up a gun barrel)
Once the polywire is through, lap (no knots) the HT wire about 12" with the polywire and joint them together with insulating tape or duct tape.
Tie the other end of the HT wire to something solid and pull the polywire and the HT wire throught the pipe ..... Happy days 0 -

Another method is to neatly bend the end of the wire back on itself, leaving a nice rounded tip. This'll push a heck of a long way through hydrodare before the sheer weight and friction of the wire makes it more and more difficult.Firstly can I say that I am not for one minute laying claim to being the originator of this handy tip, it was someone on F&F that I got the tip from in the first place, can't remember who..... blue5000 possibly?

Also, I've found through bitter experience that hydrodare breaks down over time and allows current to leak off to earth. I'm told that carbon is added to the mix to make it nice and black; carbon, of course, is a conductor.
