DESCRIPTION

Take complete control of your bale feeding operation with the HLA Bale Knife Models BK48LF, BK60LF & BK72LF. Whether you're managing round bales up to 72" in diameter or preparing feed in cold, wet conditions, this heavy-duty bale slicer is engineered to cut through dense bales cleanly, efficiently, and safely without the need to manually remove net wrap or plastic film.
