2019 Hustler Equipment Bale Feeders CHAINLESS X5000

Top of the range trailed Chainless bale processor, self-loading, suitable for feeding out any bale, round or square, dry hay or baled silage and it maximizes leaf retention, minimizing waste. The Chainless X5000 carries 2 bales at a time and is designed for medium to large operations feeding out up to 5000 bales each year.

Features may include:

• The addition of a new Axial Rotor with centralising paddles keeps the bale positioned in the centre of the feeding chamber to minimise wastage and provide better grip on soft bales.

• The Chainless X5000 is the most versatile bale processor, it will feed out any bale round & square.

• Infinite variation in feed control, allows you to feed thick for cattle, thin for sheep to increase the palatability for your stock.

• Hustlers proven polyethylene platforms with ribbed design keeps bales tracking straight and with 30% less friction than steel it reduces drag on the bale which makes feeding out sticky bales easier and it will never corrode. The X5000s platform is wider to reduce waste with sloppy bales.

• The entire drive system is now located at the rear, which allows better manoeuverability. Bigger outboard bearing blocks are easily greased, larger shafts, automatic drive tensioners require no adjustments, and is designed to handle larger 1.5 tonne bales.

• The Easy Clean Hypaflo Wiper Panel minimises blockages and ensures that hay drops outside the wheel tracks to avoid being flattened into the mud. A quick release latch releases the wiper panel for easy cleaning.

• The clear, easy to read platform height guide shows starting positions for various bale types making it easier to use for all operators.

• Transmission covers protect against mud and debris getting at the heavy duty drive system which reduces maintenance.

• The new easier to read loading indicator makes loading any bale simple: line up the indicator to correct bale position, back in and load.

• Our divertor valve is a safety feature and allows the X5000 to be used behind tractors with just 2 double acting remotes.

• The X5000 is built to handle larger bales and has an impressive strength to weight ratio, achieved by using high tensile steel and larger section members. Weve done our homework and put the steel where its needed, not in case its needed.

• Our 6-stud axles are the strongest on the market giving you longer life and more load capacity.

• The X5000 is has the more ground clearance allowing you to operate on rugged terrain and with the clean underside of the chassis there is nothing to damage or get snagged should you belly out.

• The single post drawbar design has set the benchmark in feeder maneuverability and tighter turning. The drawbar is fitted with built-in road-legal safety chain mounts and an adjustable height towing eye.

• The heavy duty 26,456lb rated forged towing eye has 1.97" height adjustment to suit different size tractors. It rotates 360, making feeding out on uneven terrain trouble-free.
