Bale Spin Off Features

Rotates in both directions for easy feeding and allows the operator to unroll what the cattle will clean up, eliminating wasted hay. Also, by changing the feeding location each day the operator can eliminate manure buildup. Available in three models and designed to fit Category II or Category III 3-pt hitches (FSO-906), front loaders (FLSO-907) and skid steers (SSSO908). All models are hydraulically driven for better operator control, provide easy operation from the cab of tractors or skid steers and feature a forged tapered spear for easier bale penetration. All have usable spear length of 52”. 

How to Operate a Round Bale Spin-Off as a Bale Feeder

1. Install the SpinOff on the tractor in accordance with mounting instructions and common three point mounting practices.
2. Connect the hydraulic hoses. Make sure the ends are clean before insertion.
3. Back the tractor toward the bale from either end while keeping the center shaft horizontal and near the center of the bale.
4. Continue backing until the center shaft and spinner are fully inserted into the bale.
5. Raise the three point hitch.
6. Drive to the desired range feeding location.
7. Remove the bale twine and dispose of it properly.
8. Do not lower the bale to the ground. The rear end of the bale should be higher than the forward end.
9. Select a tractor gear slightly above mid-range.
10. Set the throttle a little above idle.
11. When the tractor is in a forward motion, slowly engage the hydraulic lever to rotate the bale. This will unroll the hay into a windrow.
12. Adjust the forward speed of the tractor to adjust the windrow size. A faster speed for a smaller windrow, a slower speed for a larger windrow.
13. Experiment with different forward speeds and rotation of the bale to unroll the desired windrow.

Trouble Shoot the Round Bale Feeder

Chain or Sprocket Breakage

• The chain is too tight. Adjust the chain to allow 3/16" deflection. When reversing the direction of rotation, allow the bale to almost come to a complete stop before reversing.
• The RW SpinOff must be run with the chain guard in place to prevent foreign objects from getting caught in the chain and causing damage.

Chain Coming Off

• The small sprocket and large sprocket are not aligned properly. Align the small sprocket with the large sprocket on the spinner assembly using a straight edge.
• The chain may be too loose. Adjust the chain to allow 3/16" deflection.

Bale Won’t Unwind

• The twine may still be on the bale. If it is, take the twine completely off to avoid tangling on the RW SpinOff when the bale is rotating.
• The bale is frozen. Try bouncing the bale lightly on the ground to loosen it up. You may have to use the ground to slough the first layer off the bale and get it unrolling.
• The bale is wrapped too tightly. Make certain that all the twine is cut. Try bouncing the bale lightly on the ground to loosen it up.
