Reap the benefits without the hassle There are many time, storage and cost saving benefits of producing large round bales in the field then converting them to small squares on demand, which are more saleable and have higher value. However this conversion process can be troublesome,and the additional labour, consumption and capital outlay offset the benefits of Rebaling. Thats why Hustler introduced the Chainelss Re-baler. The Chainless Re-baler makes the process simple economical, and with minimal labor.

Hustler’s EZ remote option can be added onto any mounted bale feeder. This the most simple and cost-effective solution to break down can large bales ready for Rebaling.

Tease apart your large round bales in less than 2 minutes to convert them into small square bales!

Make your rebaling operation more efficient and more profitable with huge time, labour cost and fuel savings.

In under 4 minutes 15-20 small square bales can be converted from 1 large bale at a value of $4-6 each, that equates to $60-120 worth of small hay bales.

Replace the tractor with a electric or diesel powered power pack for a more permanent operation.
