That looks really good buddy. I think we are going to get a new one here in the next couple months. Theyre not all that expensive.

I have got to learn how to weld and use a torch. Your contraption looks very professional.

Do the unrollers work on soft core bales very well?

Would you be willing to share the measurements you used? I am building one as well
 
How durable/effective are 3 point unrollers for carrying a 1,200 lb bale? The feeding area is generally within 1/2 mile of the storage location (across grass pathway and pasture). Or is it better to haul them with the loader to the feeding location and then grab with the 3 point unroller?

If you have a well built one there is no reason not to carry the bale with the unroller.
 
Any designs of a 3pt design one? I can buy one for 725-825. Those are pivot design, i pefer the parallel squeeze. I can weld most anything, build a good amount, actually enjoy that part but time is not my friend

For parallel squeeze look at the Deweze. Had one for 15yrs now and it works great. The design holds up allot better than the 3pt pivot models. The only thing we've done to the Deweze is weld a ball on top to move gooseneck trailers. Very solid design and would be easy to build.
 
Curious what makes the parallel style hold up better?

My pivot style unroller is probably 20 years old and unrolled 1000s of bales and all I've done to it is weld a gooseneck ball on it to move trailers around in the mud.
 
Alot of Deweze beds here but few 3pt unrollers. My truck is pivot Butler bed. But dont feed with it much. Thought maybe someone had designs or specs on one before i go off guessing at it

Might be just the models sold here or misuse but every 3pt pivot unroller I see here has been welded on. The Deweze has about a 5x5" main frame with 4x4" arms that slide in and out. The 4x4" has 2x4" tubing arms to grab the bale. Not much to go wrong there.

I'll try to get some specs Friday. PM me if I don't post them.
 
Mine is all 5x5 tube with 1" pivot pins. I forgot I did replace the pins once years ago because they were getting sloppy.

I've used the ends of the arms to lift anything a 150hp tractor will lift. Ha

Nobody has a bale bed here just 3pt unrollers. Truck bale bed isn't much use in the winter feeding season.

Do you use a hydraulic top link on the 3 point roller?
 
We use a regular top link also. To carry a bale I lower the arms all the way down and back into the bale until the upright hits the bale then squeeze and lift.

This is the one I use, works great. I see them regularly in the Van Massey Equipment Sales, usually bring 7 to 800

We use the same since quite a few years. Wouldn't want to live without it. The only downside we have discovered are the brackets on the main beam, controlling how wide the arms can spread. They break off after heavy use, since the bale can swing sideways both ways while you haul over bumpy ground. Those little brackets are just not tough enough to stop the movement of a big heavy bale over and over again.

That's the only negative honestly. Regardless, I wouldn't want to feed without it.

The brackets that are between the arms and hydraulic cylinder?
