Reliability  

At Hustler, we believe in Rethinking the everyday, everyday and the SL700X bale feeder is no exception with many improvements to the design of this round bale feeder since it first rolled off the production line in 2012. The latest version claims to be stronger, more stable, more reliable than the previous versions and is just one of the reasons Hustler can stand behind it with a 4-year factory warranty.
  1. Stronger chassis design – The chassis has had a redesign to eliminate fatigue points and increase the strength and capacity of the loading system and rear axle
  2. Covered shafts – We developed and proven new covers for the drive shafts to eliminate any chance of forage wrapping around them causing premature wear or jamming.
  3. Stronger loading system – We’ve increased the size of the loading system adding more strength and surface area to the tyne frame, boom and latch arm.
