Maxilator | Bale Cracker | Model MXC-SS | Net Wrap Remover | Handles 5' x 6' Bales Capacity | Horsepower 40 To 120 HP | For Tractors
DESCRIPTION
The Maxilator MXC-SS Bale Cracker is a game-changing tractor attachment built to streamline your bale handling process from start to finish. Designed to work with standard tractors (40–120 HP), this innovative bale cracker allows a single operator to lift, move, and unwrap 5’ x 6’ round bales of dry hay or baleage all without ever leaving the tractor seat.
Whether you’re managing a large livestock operation or a mid-sized hay farm, this attachment transforms what was once a multi-step, messy task into a clean, efficient, and animal-safe process. The patented Wrap Retention Mechanism cuts and holds onto plastic wrap, netting, or twine, while a clever pivot design safely releases the bale onto the ground, keeping unwanted material away from your feed.
Say goodbye to wasted time, climbing in and out of your cab, or wrestling with net wrap in the mud and snow. The Maxilator Bale Cracker puts control back in your hands saving labor, protecting animals, and improving feeding efficiency.
