[QUOTE="saltbranch, post: 691454, member: 13181"] As I understand it bales come in 4,5 and 6' circumference? We normally buy 5' wide, this last purchase was 6' wide milo bales- heavy. The tumblebug style mover we have rips the milo bales apart when trying flip back over. We are having to run a 2" ratchet strap around the "arm" and bottom of frame of tumblebug to flip it over to keep from tearing up the bale.Plus we are in sandy soil, so you have put a concrete block in front of tires to break it over. Depending on how long this drought goes we may end up buying smaller bales too. I am using 2" square tube for the forks, so I am thinking go 4' wide. If we do get smaller bales I can build a set of slide on "forks" using the 2" reciever sockets. The sockets slide over my 4' forks and decrease the inside diameter to 3'. Hope that makes sense, maybe I am over complicating things too. We dont have a tractor, everything is done buy truck. [/QUOTE]
