Hustler TE205

KEY BENEFITS

Feeds any Bale Type Shape or Size

The Chainless Trailed Bale Feeder is the most versatile Bale Feeder, it will feed out any bale round, square, tight, soft, short, long, dry and wet bales with ease.

Chainless

No troublesome feed chains is a key advantage for – Reliability, lower maintenance and quieter operation, the teasing action of the rotors uses feed more economically because it is easier for the cattle as they can eat it because it is fluffed up. The Chainless can effectively feed out any bale type in both round or square. Chainless is a virtually silent feeding operation which means your stock will be more comfortable.

Total Control 2 Loading System

This gives you total control overloading the bale. The simple, reliable and fool-proof single cylinder design of the Hustler loading system is safer than other loading systems and allows unwrapping of the bale above the feed cradle, reducing waste. The Hustler loading system can be reversed if the operator decides not to load that bale. It also has more support area for soft or square bales. The Chainless square and round Bale Feeder have more leverage, stronger design and larger 1.5-tonne (3,300 lb) capacity.

Easy Clean Hypaflo Wiper Panel

The newly developed wiper panel that clears the hay from the rotors better. It has a new quick release latching system for releasing the panel to clean out any hay.

New Rotor

The New Rotor shape has better penetration on tight bales and the shape cleans sticky bales better. The new Axial Rotor centralizes the bale in the feeding chamber so that there is less wastage. It has more grip on sloppy, rotor cut bales which makes feeding them out easier and more efficient. The larger bale chamber makes it possible to feed out a wider range of bales, and also makes using the TX205 trailed bale feeder very simple for operators of all skill levels and reduces the need for platform adjustment

Time-Saving Features

Loaded with time-saving and money-saving features such as; QRC Grips, Drawbar hose holder, biggest stub axles on the market, Loadial loading indicator, Feedguide built-in platform height guide and Hustler’s stamp of quality, full 5-year warranty, and much more.

Stability

The Chainless Trailed Bale Processor with its low centre of gravity and wide wheel track makes it the most stable Bale Feeder on the market when in operation adding peace of mind.

KEY FEATURES

Axial Rotor

The addition of a new Axial Rotor with centralising paddles keeps the bale positioned in the centre of the feeding chamber to minimise wastage and provide better grip on soft bales.

Polyethylene Platform

Hustler’s proven polyethylene platforms with ribbed design keeps the bales tracking straight and with 30% less friction than steel, it reduces drag on the bale which makes feeding out sticky bales easier and it will never corrode. The chainless platform is wider to reduce waste with sloppy bales.

Feed Control

Infinite variation in feed control, allows you to feed thick for cattle, thin for sheep to increase the palatability for your stock

Low Maintenance Drive

The entire drive system is now located at the rear, which allows better manoeuvrability. Bigger outboard bearing blocks are easily greased, larger shafts, automatic drive tensioners require no adjustments, and is designed to handle large 1.5-tonne bales (3,306 lb bales) (TX205). TE205 will handle up to 1-tonne (2,200 lb) bales.

Hypaflo Wiper Panel

The Easy Clean Hypaflow Wiper Panel minimises blockages and ensures that hay drops outside the wheel tracks to avoid being flattened into the mud. A quick release latch releases the wiper panel for easy cleaning.

Feed Guide

The clear, easy to read platform height guide shows starting positions for various bale types making it easier to use for all operators.

Protective Covers

Transmission covers protect against mud and debris getting at the heavy duty drive system which reduces maintenance.

Loadial

The new easier to read loading indicator makes loading any bale simple: line up the indicator to correct bale position, back in and load.

Diverter Valve

Our diverter valve is a safety feature and allows the Chainless to be used behind tractors with just 2 double acting remotes.

High Tensile Chassis

The Chainless round and square Bale Feeder is built to handle larger bales and has an impressive strength to weight ratio, achieved by using high tensile steel and larger section members. We’ve done our homework and put the steel where it’s needed, not in case it’s needed.

6-Stud Axles

Our 6-stud axles are the strongest on the market giving you longer life and more load capacity.

Massive Ground Clearance

The Chainless Bale Processor has more ground clearance allowing you to operate on rugged terrain. With the clean underside of the chassis there is nothing to damage or get snagged should you belly out.

Single Post Drawbar

The single post drawbar design has set the benchmark in feeder manoeuvrability and tighter turning. The drawbar is fitted with built-in road-legal safety chain mounts and an adjustable height towing eye.

Swiveling Towing Eye

The heavy-duty 12,000 kg (26,450 lb) rated forged towing eye has 50 mm (1.9 in) height adjustment to suit different size tractors. It rotates 360°, making feeding out on uneven terrain trouble-free.

Heavy Duty Parking Jack

New heavy-duty parking jack has an oversize mounting for a positive lock and safety. To allow for tighter turning, we’ve added an extra mount on top of the drawbar for stowing the jack.

Sand Blasting & Armacote Finish

Hustlers’ unique oven-baked Armacote system is applied to a sandblasted finish ensuring long life, durability and a premium quality finish.

Stringbox

The Chainless TX205 is equipped with a large capacity stringbox which is very handy for stowing that bale wrap, fencing standards, and other items while you’re out and about. Optional on the TE205.

Flotation Tyres

Now with larger tyres – New for all 2023 model year trailed bale feeders are larger diameter and wider tyres as standard. Providing improved floatation, cushioning, more ground clearance and the larger rolling diameter makes for smoother towing

Mudguards

Keeps your feed clean and dry when traveling between paddocks and reduces feed spoilage when operating in muddy conditions. Mudguards come optional on the TE205 & TX205 (except in New Zealand, come standard on the TX205).

Total Control Loading

The single hydraulic ram of Hustler’s Total Control 2 loading system makes loading faster and prevents bales from falling on the operator during unwrapping. A bigger tyne frame provides extra support for soft or square bales.

Quick Release Wiper

A quick-release latch releases the wiper panel for easy cleaning.

QRC Grips

Another industry first from Hustler! Quick coupling grips make connecting hoses easier and the colour coded for easy coordination

Rotor Teeth

Many hours of research and development have gone into the shape of the teeth to makes them clean easier, and have more aggression on tight bales. The Chainless has 5 teeth per rotor to provide extra grip on soft bales.

Hose Holder

Requested by farmers and unique to Hustler Bale Feeders, the drawbar mounted hose holder keeps the hydraulic hoses out of harm’s way, reducing chances of downtime. The Chainless hose holder has provisions to hold the hoses when the bale feeder is not in use.
