One Machine Dispenses Round Bales Three Ways (additional attachments)

Livestock producers will like this new machine that combines feeding, spreading and bedding in one implement that mounts on a tractor 3-pt. hitch or on the front of a big loader or tele-handler. There are only 4 grease points and no electronics on the machine, which can unroll or spread a bale in minutes.
    As a bale feeder the Crossfire BFR-180 from Wessex International uses 5.5 ton-rated chains with zinc-plated crossbars and a high-output Danfoss hydraulic motor to gently roll hay, straw or balage from either side of the machine.
    With the Crossfire straw spreader attachment, the BFR-180 throws baled straw in its original length without shredding it up to 30 ft., easily bedding corrals and pens in loafing barns.
    The BFR-180’s 3rd mode, called the Sidewinder, uses an extension conveyor for high-level feeding into a trough or manger from the left side of the machine. In this mode the right side of the machine is still configured for bedding.
    Each mode works individually if the power unit only has one double-acting hydraulic spool. Two double-acting hydraulic spools or one spool with a diverter valve are needed to operate all 3 modes in one hookup.
    The BFR-180 handles round bales up to 5 by 6-ft. in size and weights up to 1,500 lbs. Early in 2018 the BFR-180 received an Innovation Award in the UK for best new product or innovation in livestock production equipment in Europe.
