Wessex Bale Unwinder
The Wessex BFR-180 is a heavy-duty, self-loading round bale feeder designed to make feeding quicker, easier, and more efficient. Built to handle hay, haylage, straw, silage, and clamped silage, it offers reliable performance in even the toughest farming conditions.
Featuring robust 5.5-tonne rated chains and a direct hydraulic drive, the BFR-180 delivers smooth, low-maintenance operation while significantly reducing feed wastage—helping farmers save both time and money.
