I am considering getting a flake feeder. This morning I had 2 bales which both did the classic cave in where I had 6 or 7 flakes piled up. It gets to be a witch to pull them off the truck. I am getting too old for this s**t. The feeder are designed to push the hay off a flake at a time. You sit in the cab and run the controls. A hydraulic arm pushed the hay off the side. There are arms that prevent a cave in from occurring so you just get one flake. The one I am considering holds 2 3x4x8 bales. The only time you get out of the cab is to cut the twine. The one I am looking at is a stand alone unit. Just 4 bolts in the corners to mount it on a flat bed. So easy to move to a different truck if you wanted to.
The one I am looking at is made by D&M feeders. They are located in Prineville Oregon.
