HLA BG3000 Round Bale Grabber Gentle High-Clarity Bale Handling; John Deere 540 Quick-Attach Ready Location: Sunderland (On-Farm) Manufacturer: HLA Attachments (Horst Welding) Model: BG3000
Technical Specifications:
-
Bale Compatibility: Designed for round bales up to 5 feet in diameter
-
Mounting: John Deere 540 Style Quick-Attach (Hook & Pin)
-
Hydraulics: Includes hydraulic cylinder and hoses
-
Capacity: Rated for heavy wrapped silage or dry hay bales
-
Arm Design: Tubular curved arms to prevent wrap piercing or bale deformation
-
Construction: High-tensile steel frame manufactured in Ontario
Key Features:
-
Non-Piercing Tubular Arms: Specifically engineered for handling wrapped silage bales. The smooth, curved surface of the arms allows you to grip and stack bales tightly without puncturing the plastic film, preserving feed quality.
-
John Deere 540 Compatibility: Factory-fitted with the JD 540 style quick-attach system, ensuring a seamless fit for John Deere 500-series loaders (520, 521, 540, 541, 542, 553).
-
Precision Hydraulic Control: Includes a heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder that provides consistent clamping pressure, allowing the operator to securely move bales over uneven terrain without slippage.
-
Low Profile Frame: Designed to provide maximum visibility from the tractor seat, making it easier to line up on bales in the field or stack them high in the barn.
Ideal for: The Ontario beef or dairy producer who has transitioned to “baleage” and needs a reliable, gentle way to transport and stack wrapped feed. Because it uses the JD 540 quick-attach, it is a “plug-and-play” solution for the thousands of 500-series loaders currently in service across the province. Its rugged, simple design makes it ideal for a buyer who wants an attachment that won’t require constant maintenance or expensive replacement parts.
The HLA Advantage: HLA Attachments, a division of Horst Welding based in Listowel, Ontario, is the industry leader in tractor and skid steer attachments. Their “BG” series grabbers are known for superior weld quality and a “built-by-farmers-for-farmers” design philosophy. HLA products hold their value exceptionally well in the secondary market due to their reputation for structural integrity and the ease of sourcing replacement components through an extensive dealer network.
Note: This unit is currently located on a customer’s farm just outside of Sunderland. It is in good working order with hoses and cylinder intact.
