“With less staff on the farm I was keen to move away from unrolling bales by hand on my own. After much consideration, we purchased a spread a bale earlier this year. Shed layout was a huge factor when looking for a bedding machine. I needed something compact enough to access a restricted central passageway, but with enough throw capacity for our larger yards. Being forklift mounted combined with the low dust levels and ease of use drew me in to look at a spread a bale. Paul visited the farm, measuring doorways, feed passages and yard sizes to see which model and configuration would fit best. He then brought a machine to try on our loader to see how it would fit. A mini with a horizontal rotor is the perfect machine, we can get through our tightest doorway, side-mounted to bed from a passageway and then end-mount it to gain even more spread distance elsewhere. It allows me to safely bed up on my own in roughly the same time as it used to take 2 of us and it also reduces straw usage by approximately 20 to 25%”
