PRODUCT INFORMATION
Kellfri’s BG2000 Bale Grapple has a unique design which eliminates unnecessary damage to
plastic-wrapped round bales. The grapples have been designed using tubular pipes without
joints and the frame attachment has been manufactured using hot-rolled proles with round-
ed corners. This design means that the bale is exposed only to rounded material, thus protect-
ing the bale from unnecessary damage. The grapple arms work in unison, which makes the
tractor operator’s loading work easier. The clamping force has been adapted to manage even
the heaviest of bales, and the parallel rod enables the two grapple arms to clamp together
with the pressure evenly distributed over the bale. The bale grapple requires a double-acting
hydraulic outlet on the tractor. The bale grapple is supplied with two hydraulic ½ inch, quick
coupling male hoses
