WL Bale/Silage Bucket

WBM Bale/Silage Buckets are designed specifically for handling round bales and loading silage in an agricultural feedlot application. Compared to a Corral Bucket, the Bale/Silage Bucket has a larger convex radius on the leading edge and the basket is taller to allow for better round bale handling. This creates approx. 1/4 yd increase in capacity over the Corral Bucket. The tips on the overarm are typically designed with extended length to increase penetration into the round bales and increase capacity in silage loading applications.

  • Increased concave profile allows for maximum payload and round bale handling
  • Durable construction extends wear life and stands up to rigorous applications
  • 4-point hook-up that is self-aligning, low maintenance and extremely strong; decreases down time
  • Oversized pivot bars increase strength and durability
  • Extended tip aids in penetration of bale to maximize carrying capability
  • Dual cylinders provide a positive clamping force
