| Round Bales
When moving Round Bales, a Conus II 44”
or 49” tine is typically used on top depending on how thick
the bale is (remember the diameter is not the thickness of the bale).
For the bottom tines, the most important
question to be answered is whether or not the customer/operator
will be using this carriage setup to dump the bales into a Bale
Feeder, TMR Mixer, or Tub Grinder. If so, it is mandatory that two
Conus I 40” tines are used on the bottom as stabilizers. This
keeps the top tine from supporting all the weight as you dump the
bale off of the tines.
If the customer/operator is just moving
and/or stacking Round Bales, then it is okay to use shorter stabilizer
tines. The only problem with this is that when you go fast over
rough terrain, the top tine is supporting most of the weight. |
Note: When installing tines, take paint off
the tines where it goes into the sleeve. |
