SOFTHANDS LM100² Built for farmers and contractors who handle bales every day, the new Series 2 Softhands LM100 is built to make round bale handling faster, easier and more controlled than ever before. Its compact mainframe improves visibility while keeping the load closer to your machine for greater stability. The unique hand profile slips easily between tightly packed bales, while the patented floating equaliser —described by operators as a game changer—provides exceptional bale control giving operators unmatched confidence when handling wrapped or dry bales. Now stronger than ever and packed with practical new features, the Series 2 delivers contractorgrade performance in an affordable package.
MONOQUE MAIN FRAME The heart of the LM100 bale handler is the uniquely formed main frame, which is both strong, lightweight 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 2” of float makes loading and stacking easier.
HEAVY DUTY PIVOTS
BALE SUPPORT
Large 1.25” pivot pins, with massive surface area provides years of trouble-free use. Greasable pivots also provide easy maintenance.
The RHS center bars provide unparalleled bale support to reduce bale deformation during handling, and provide a better grip of the bale.
LOADER BRACKETS
TOP EXIT HOSES
SLIM HAND DESIGN
UNIQUE HAND SHAPE
Standard with integrated Euro-Hitch, skid steer brackets or plain (no brackets). The LM100 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.
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 center point of the bale which allows the hands to easily slip between bales and eliminates damage to wrapping.
