Hustler Equipment SL700

SL700

A trailed Chain bale feeder suitable for feeding out a wide variety of mainly round bales and silage along with some square bales when using the optional side bars. The SL700X is tough and ideally suited for farms feeding 400-3000 bales each year.

Strongest bars

Bars are 4-5 times stronger torsionally than angle type bars of same size. We’ve bolted them to the chain which is stronger and for different bale types blank bars or bars with more aggressive teeth are available and can simply be bolted on in a matter of minutes.

Fully enclosed extruded polyethylene floor reduces feed waste and it will never corrode. Being polyethylene it is slippery with 30% less drag compared to steel which makes feeding sticky silage or wet bales easy.

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

Hill countrey stability

A lower centre of gravity and steeper feed cradle result in a 20% increase in stability. This means greater safety and peace of mind when the going gets steep.

New drive

A beefed up drive system, including a newly designed coupling, provides unparalleled direct drive strength, while a bigger motor allows you to feed even the heaviest and sloppiest bales with ease.

6 stud axle

You need to feed out in all conditions, so we’ve fitted the strongest stub axle on the market. The SL700X is suited to the fastest tractors available today. We’ve also made it adjustable so that it suits any terrain, without running over the feed.

Single post drawbar

Our single post drawbar design has set the benchmark in feeder maneuverability. Now it is completely removable, which means you can replace it without having to buy a whole new chassis. By lowering the drawbar, we’ve made it easier stepping from side to side.

Bearing covers

Removable bearing covers protect the bearings from mud and make cleaning and greasing easy.

Chassing design

Our fully enclosed chassis prevents rust by stopping water getting in. We’ve built the SL700X with plenty of ground clearance to minimise bellying out and to avoid damage to chains and feed bars when it does touch the ground, we’ve made the underside of the chassis smooth, so it slides until the wheels gain traction again. Impressive strength to weight ratio has been achieved by constructing the SL700X from high tensile steel, which is 50% stronger than mild steel. Bolted construction eliminates stress cracking common with some conventional bale feeders.
