Dumping capabilities

The Chisholm Trail bale bed’s with dump feature expands your capabilities to handle hay and dump materials from the comfort of your cab. There is no other unit on the market like it. Our dump feature permits the same hydraulic system to be used for both arm and dump functions. ** please note in some circumstances you will have two separate hydraulic systems ask for more details**

With our feature-rich bed you gain much more value for your dollar. Arm lift capacity is 2,850 pounds, and bed dump capacity is 6,000 pounds.

Independent arm action

The Chisholm Trail bale bed uses two squeeze cylinders, rather than a phasing cylinder, for better squeeze and maneuverability. You can move the arms separately or in tandem for easier bale retrieval when stacked end to end. This also helps loading into a ring feeder, ever if you don’t have a straight shot at it. Lift any size or shape-round, square, wide or narrow. You can haul up to four 4’ rounds side by side with a dual wheel pickup. You can also squeeze a large 4’ x 8’ square bale end to end or from the side. The arm range of 3’6” to 9’6” enables you to grab small or misshapen items, too.

Free-Float Arm System

The free-float arm system allows you to unroll hay while maintaining full contact with the ground over rough terrain. This function helps to prevent skips and thick blankets of hay, allowing even distribution of feed and reducing waste.

Locking Valve System

Our unique locking valve stops arms from creeping out when carrying hay bales, and creeping down on to the pavement. And unlike other units on the market, our design significantly limits truck frame stress.

No-Need-To Jack Trailers

The Chisholm Trail Bale Bed makes work easier and quicker in so many ways, especially hooking up your gooseneck trailer. Just raise the bed until the landing legs are off the ground, remove blocks, lower the bed and off you go. No more cranking!
