Features may include: 

Structural, tubular frame holds up to 907.2 kg (2000 lb)

The Frontier™ BU10 Series Bale Unroller has strong, tubular framing with heavy-duty welding, which provides exceptional strength and durability.

This rugged machine can handle round bales up to 907.2 kg (2000 lb) and 1.2-m to 1.5-m (4-ft to 5-ft) wide bales up to 1.8 m (6 ft) in diameter.

Hitch connects quickly and easily and is iMatch™ and quick-hitch compatible

The BU10 Series Bale Unroller is iMatch and quick-hitch compatible with Category 1 and 2 hitches. These quick-attach systems allow for a super quick connection.

Easy hydraulic operation creates ease for the operator

The Frontier™ BU10 Series Bale Unroller requires a 5.1-cm x 20.3-cm (2-in. x 8-in.) hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic kit is needed for use, but it does not have to be purchased with the unroller.

Hydraulic aftermarket kits for hay and silage products

The first conversion kit listed actuates the BU1060 Bale Unroller. A hydraulic cylinder, hoses, and fittings are needed to actuate the squeeze feature of the bale unroller.

The second conversion kit listed is a hydraulic lift mechanism to fold the DM1140 Disc Mower for transport. This is standard equipment on all DM1140 Disc Mowers.

The third conversion kit listed is a power take-off (PTO) hydraulic drive for the HM1109 Hay Merger. It is a self-contained hydraulic system used to operate the merger if the tractor's hydraulic system has insufficient capacity.
