 2640 BALEBUSTER FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Packed with features and options the 2640 BALEBUSTER is arguably Haybuster's most flexible bale processor.
 
BALE LOADING
Haybuster's exclusive 2 stage loader allows you to self load and transport two round bales. The loading tines are curved out at the end, this makes the loader act like a funnel and prevents bale spearing.

Stage 1: The tines are lowered to the ground. Then as the 2640 is backed up, the tines easily slide under each side of the bale.

Stage 2: The 2 stage loader's unique design reduces the loading arc, so it won't catch the next bale on the way up. No more pulling forward during the loading. During the 2nd stage, the loader tips the bale into the shredder chamber.

Back to stage I and load the second bale.

Now it's time to do some bedding.

 
Bedding with a 2640 saves you time and money. Processing Straw offers these benefits:
  1. Removes most of twine from the straw.
    Saves wear and tear on tractors and loaders.
  2. It's fast.
  3. It uses less straw by distributing a uniform layer.
  4. There's less manure to haul out.
  5. Allows you to bed when needed.
  6. Whether you are bedding a barn or a pen the 2640 does the job faster and better.

Haybuster owners tell us that they save up to 20% in hay usage when bales are processed over letting livestock pull hay from densely packed or frozen unprocessed bales.

Uniformity, from the start of processing to the end, the 2640 puts out a consistent windrow. This reduces the influence of the "boss cows" and each of your animals gets its fair share.

Processing is a better way of feeding hay because it:
1. Chops the forage into selected cut lengths.
2. Mixes drier outside layers with inner, fresher layers.
3. Removes dust and molds, prevents cattle from sorting, and makes hay go farther.
 
Tons of Options are Available for the 2640

The Hydraulic Deflector saves you steps by moving the Rack and the Deflector from transport position to working position without leaving the comfort of your tractor cab. Once the Rack is released, the cylinder positions the Deflector for bunk feeding, range feeding, spreading bedding or any position in between.

The Hydraulic Deflector makes even the tightest gates appear to be larger.

Cattle like grain. The Haybuster Grain Tank applies grain on top of the windrow at the same time as you are processing.
Top Dressing is a good way to use up your old or lower quality hay. The grain trickles down throughout the windrow as the cattle feed. The hay is cleaned up as the grain is eaten.

The Grain Tank top dresses corn, cereal grains, and pelletized feed supplements. The Feed Ratio Per AnimaI is maintained by the Grain Tank's metering system. It is capable of a wide delivery range so you can get the ration that is right for you.
