Want More Pounds of Beef From Every Bale?

 

In the world of livestock farming, profit margins can be razor-thin.

That’s why since 1961, Hustler Equipment is dedicated to building the world’s most efficient bale processing systems that…
SAVES YOU TIME, SAVES BALES, SAVES FUEL, SAVES PASTURE and REDUCES YOUR OPERATING COSTS

so you can make more pounds of beef from every bale.

 

You could:

→ Reduce hay waste and damage by up to 40%

→ Reduce fuel consumption by up to 96% per bale

→ Reduce maintenance cost by up to 93% or even more when compared to a TMR

These savings are some of the best-case scenarios we’ve seen from ranchers who have made the switch to Hustler from alternative bale feeding systems.

The 3 Most Common Advantages Leading Ranchers Gained By Switching to Hustler's Bale Processor

1. More Nutritional Intake For Your Cattle

Hay remains intact and is not destroyed. The bale feeder simply teases the bale apart with its unique low speed 3:1 ratio rotors into a tidy windrow without chopping or grinding the bale. This provides some key benefits that ranchers really appreciate:

  • The leaves and/or grain, where a large proportion of the nutrition is found, are not smashed to powder and blown away as dust. The Hustler bale processor preserves the leaf and grain so your cattle can eat it.
  • Any mold in a bale is separated from the hay without mixing it in, allowing cattle to eat fresh, clean hay.
  • Ranchers are reporting up to 80% reductions in mineral supplement consumption, and up to 20% reductions in hay consumption for the same live weight gains, with the same bales!

2. Increased Versatility with Reduced Plugging

Whatever bale you have available you can rest assured that Hustler’s Chainless bale processing system will feed it out. Leading ranchers are particularly impressed with the fact that Hustler bale processors process:

  • All round bales, including 4 and 5 ft wide, up to 6 ft diameter.
  • All square bales even sizes up to 8 ft long.
  • All wrapped high moisture balage (baled silage) bales – without ever plugging!
  • All Hay & Straw bales of any forage type – proven with more than 110 different forage types.
  • All frozen bales that have been stored outside over winter.

3. Simplicity & Reduced Downtime

Leading ranchers demand reliability, a key reason they love the simplicity of the Hustler bale processor. Finally, a feeding system that is engineered and proven in the coldest of winter climates saving you downtime because of:

  • No wearing parts to maintain, replace, or vibrate loose and hurt your cattle.
  • Simple hydraulically driven design, with no PTO shaft and very few moving parts to keep adjusted, greased and maintained.
  • Low-speed rotors that allow the tractor to be operated at not much more than an idle, teasing bales apart quickly instead of chopping.
  • Virtually no dust to clog air filters on your tractor, stick to your grease points or get in the eyes of your cattle.
  • Ultra-low power requirement allows the bale processing system to be powered with small tractors and even your pickup should it have a hydraulic supply, saving you gallons of fuel each day.
  • Ranchers are reporting fuel savings of over 60% compared to their previous PTO-powered hay processor.
