[QUOTE="rmcva, post: 481954, member: 5473"] I've built two hay unrollers. First one I put together was about 20 years ago. Still going strong today. Built the second one a little heavier. Almost sold that one but decided to keep it. Glad I did. I have it mounted on the loader in front of the tractor. Unroll hay in front and drop pellets on the hay with a Vicon spreader with the pendulum (sp) removed. That frees up the other tractor when feeding pellets. Also have the unroller on the loader so I can remove it in minutes. Used a couple of short top links and Pioneer couplings for the hydraulic motor. Remove two pins and two hoses and it's off. Can drive back to it and pick it up with the loader and then put the pins back in and hoses as fast as i can remove it. That way if I need forks or bucket for other jobs I can change over fast. Don't know why I didn't think of it years ago. Guess feeding pellets brought out the need. And drought brought out the need for pellets. :) [/QUOTE]
