Overview
Combi-Bale is a combined feeding and bedding machine designed for livestock operations. It accepts both round and square bales and switches quickly between bedding (straw spreading) and feeding (chopping and feeding haylage or silage). The unit aims to streamline daily tasks by integrating two functions in a single implement, with options for side-mounting.

Key features

• Dual function: feeding and bedding in one machine
• Compatible with round and square bales
• Rotor clockwise rotation spreads straw 8–15 metres (26–49 ft)
• Rotor anti-clockwise rotation uses bladed tine edges to chop and feed haylage/silage
• Side-mounting option for feeding along fences or passageways
• Simple mode change via a single lever

Benefits

• Combines two core tasks to reduce machine count and handling time
• Reduces labour by enabling rapid transition between bedding and feeding
• Controlled chopping and fluffing improves feed presentation and animal access
• Lower dust generation compared with traditional chopper-blower setups
• Flexible configurations for different farm layouts (e.g. side-mount for passage feeding)

User feedback / Testimonials
Operators report that Combi-Bale effectively chops silage from round bales leaving it fluffed for easier intake, and spreads straw evenly for bedding. Users highlight straightforward operation, minimal disturbance to livestock, and quick switching between modes.
