SL350 Balefeeder The world’s best single tractor, round bale feeding solution The SL350 provides the ultimate bale feeding solution for all types of round bales. The 3-pointlinkage mounted, self-loading round bale feeder, operated from the comfort of the tractor seat makes feeding bales to livestock quicker, safer and easier than any other feed-out system.

Key Benefits 1 - REDUCE HAY WASTE Feed savings of more than 40% can be achieved with the SL350.

It lays down a fluffed-up windrow which stock can eat more easily.

Feed out as much or as little as you need and save the rest for the next feeding time, this also keeps fodder fresher and more palatable, reducing selectivity between stock.

2 - SAVE TIME & ELIMINATE BACKBREAKING WORK What would normally take more than 2 hours of grappling and back breaking work can be done in less than 30 minutes with a Hustler SL350 and fodder is distributed more uniformly providing cattle with equal opportunity of feeding. The SL350 can reduce fuel consumption and mixing time for diet mixer operators.

3 - SELF LOADING The unique design developed by Hustler allows the feeding cradle to be disconnected without leaving the tractor seat, and the headstock slides out with its bale tines to spike and load the bale onto the feeding cradle where the wrapping can be removed reducing wasted fodder. The headstock reconnects which is made easy by unequal length tines and is ready to distribute the bale.

4 - SAFE, SIMPLE, EASY The hydraulically driven low speed mechanism quickly teases out bales, with plenty of power to feed out even the heaviest of bales. Easy to maintain with just 4 grease nipples and very few moving parts. The SL350 requires a 70+ horsepower tractor with just 1 hydraulic remote and allows the operator to lift, load and feed the bale, all from the comfort of the tractor seat.

5 - VERSATILE INVESTMENT The compact design of the SL350 allows it to distribute round bales of any size both indoors or in open fields and can handle any type of bale - balage, hay, straw, corn fodder, lucerne, etc.

Disconnect the feeding cradle and use the bale tines for general bale handling and farm work.

LOW MAINTENANCE BEARINGS The SL350 is equipped with our proven, greasable, self-aligning bearings with trash shields that will easily outlast any type of bush system.

12,000 LB CHAINS

BALE CHAMBER

40 X40 RHS FEED BARS

Zinc-plated 12,000 lb chains with heavy duty rollers and pins make our chain drive system almost twice as strong as others. The greater wear surface on each roller increases chain life because they can’t stretch or snake. Fully enclosed chain and sprocket guides eliminate derailment.

Even the stickiest bales are not a problem for our new bale chamber. It is steeper and deeper for feeding out a bigger variety of bales and preventing roll out on steep terrain.

Built to withstand extreme vertical, horizontal and torsional loads, these are the strongest feed bars on the market.

Increased front and rear bale chamber enclosure reduces feed falling out, and a high security bar holds the bale securely in the chamber.

They are galvanised for corrosion resistance and bolted (rather than welded) to make them stronger and easier to replace if necessary.

LATCH SYSTEM High-mounted hook latch with new rope guide makes for easy disconnection.

DRIVE SYSTEM A beefed up drive system, including a newly designed coupling, provides unparalleled direct drive strength.

A bigger 400cc motor allows you to feed even the heaviest and sloppiest bales with ease.

DUAL SIDE FEED A single lever control enables the SL350 to feed bales out to the left or right and gives precise control of the rate of feed.

TEETH

FLOOR

Our unique, extra strong 6mm shark teeth are designed to prevent feed being dragged under the feeder by releasing it at precisely the right moment.

A fully enclosed floor design eliminates wastage by preventing feed from falling out. Made from solid, 5mm polyethylene, it is UV and shock resistant, and will not corrode.

Teeth can be angled for more aggression, or the whole bar can be unbolted or removed without breaking the chain or using a grinder.

Its extra slipperiness reduces the amount of torque needed and makes it easier to turn bales that would otherwise grip to a steel surface.

SELF-LOADING IS QUICK, SAFE AND EASY

Feed out simplified

Many hands make light work

CXR Softhands You know you’re in very good hands Conceived by Hustler and first produced in our factory in 1993, Soft Hands® was our answer to the need for a system that handles bales gently and helps preserve the life of feed by eliminating ripped bale wrapping and reducing bale deformation during handling which reduces the quality of the fodder. It continues a longstanding Hustler tradition of clever thinking, over-engineering and rigorous field testing – backed by the Hustler guarantee that your equipment will keep on handling whatever you put in front of it.

Key Benefits 1 - REDUCE BALE DAMAGE The unique design of Hustler’s Softhands, grip the bale with minimal deformation, or over-stretching of the wrap which reduces the chance for mould to start damaging the bale.

2 - REDUCE WRAPPING DAMAGE The combination of the smooth design of Hustler monoque main frame, protected pivots, and the elimination of pinch points and sharp edges reduces the chance of damages wrapping and makes the CXR very simple for operators of all skill levels to use.

The special shape slips between bales easily without damaging wrap of both the bale being handled, and the bale next in line.

3 - MORE PRECISION & SAFETY Hustler’s optional, patented floating Equaliser® keeps the hands moving simultaneously for precise, accurate bale control and the float provides flexibility for operator error when loading trucks or stacking bales.

4 - COMPACT AND BUILT TO LAST. AND LAST. The ultra-compact design of the CXR Softhands keeps the load centre of gravity close to the tractor making it ideal on smaller tractors and the massive pivots and unbeatable strength to weight ratio and 2 year warranty and unrivalled dexterity all stack up for a sound investment.

“ We did 145,000 bales in 2 years with our last set without replacing any parts”

BALAGE CONTRACTOR, HAWKES BAY

“ Very manoeuvrable. So easy to adapt from square to round bales. Never damages plastic wrapping.

You can make a nice even square stack farmers are very happy with. We’re 110% happy with it.”

MONOQUE MAIN FRAME The heart of the CXR bale handler is the uniquely formed main frame, which is both strong, light weight and smooth to reduce bale damage

PATENTED FLOATING EQUALISER The ultimate in precision bale handling, the Equaliser keeps both hands moving simultaneously for accurate bale placement. The 50mm of float makes loading and stacking easier

LOADER BRACKETS

TOP EXIT HOSES

Standard with integrated Euro-Hitch brackets, the CXR has many other bracket options to suit other loaders

The hydraulic cylinder is fully protected inside the main structure and the top exit hoses are out of harms way when connecting to the loader

HEAVY DUTY PIVOTS

BALE SUPPORT

Large 32mm pivot pins, with massive surface area provides years of trouble free use.

Greasable pivots also provide easy maintenance

The RHS centre bars provide unparalleled bale support to reduce bale deformation during handling, and provide a better grip of the bale

SLIM HAND DESIGN

UNIQUE HAND SHAPE

The slim hand design slides between bales easier and simplifies stacking, loading and unloading

The unique hand shape follows the radius of the bale for a perfect grip and the straight ends extend past the centre point of the bale which allows the hands to easily slip between bales and eliminates damage to wrapping
