Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Paladin Bale Hugger used for?

The Paladin Bale Hugger is designed to lift, move, and stack round or rectangular hay and silage bales while maintaining constant pressure around the bale. Its clamping design helps secure bales during handling without relying on a traditional spear. It is suitable for agricultural bale-handling applications with skid steer loaders and compatible utility loaders.

2. What is the maximum capacity of the Paladin Bale Hugger?

The Paladin Bale Hugger has a maximum load capacity of 2,400 lbs. Paladin specifically identifies it as suitable for handling 1,000-lb silage bales, while the 2,400-lb rating provides additional capacity for heavier bale-handling requirements when the carrier is properly rated.

What size bales can the Paladin Bale Hugger handle?

The hydraulically operated arms can clamp loads from approximately 28" to 80" wide. This range allows the Bale Hugger to handle a variety of round and rectangular bale sizes. The attachment has an 89" maximum open width.

How does the Paladin Bale Hugger secure hay and silage bales?

The Bale Hugger uses hydraulically driven pressure arms that apply constant pressure around the bale. This design helps stabilize the load and reduce the risk of dropped bales during lifting and transportation. It is particularly useful when handling wrapped or fragile bales where puncturing the bale is undesirable.

What hydraulic flow does the Paladin Bale Hugger require?

The Ripping It Outdoors listing specifies a hydraulic flow range of 15–25 GPM for the Paladin Bale Hugger, making it suitable for skid steer loaders equipped with compatible hydraulic systems. The attachment includes hydraulic hoses and couplers for connection to the carrier.

What should I check before buying a Paladin Bale Hugger?

Before ordering, verify your machine's hydraulic flow, lift capacity, attachment mounting system, operating weight, and bale weight and dimensions. The Paladin LAF1960 Bale Hugger weighs approximately 500 lbs, has a 54" depth and 47.25" height, and is designed for carriers with less than 10,000 lbs lift capacity and less than 32,000 lbs operating weight.
