Daniher Bale Feeder

About

Feed out from the driver's seat

Invented and built by Patrick Daniher on the family farm at Girral, NSW, in the Central West. Patrick got sick of climbing on and off a moving ute to throw hay off, then picking twine out of the paddock afterwards — so he built a powered belt feeder that does the job for you. Since the first one rolled out in 2016, Daniher Bale Feeders have gone onto farms right across Australia.

How it works

Load the bale with the loader or forks — no hoist needed. Drive out to the stock and run the belt from an in-cab rocker switch or a hand-held remote. The belt walks the bale off the back in neat biscuits, forward or reverse, so one person can feed out safely without ever leaving the cab.

What it handles

1. Large square bales — fed out in even biscuits
2. Round bales — unrolled evenly with the optional round bale arms
3. Loose feed — cotton seed, loose silage, straw or mulch with the optional sides and rear chutes

Models & options

1. Single unit on the ute tray — one large square or two round bales per trip
2. Single or double-length unit on a registered trailer — the double takes two large squares or four rounds in one run
3. Hand-held remote or in-cab rocker switch; run from an auxiliary socket or hardwired to the battery
4. Round bale arms, side panels and rear chutes
5. String retention slots keep twine on the machine, not in the paddock
6. All moving parts covered for operator and stock safety
