2024 Highline BP965 Bale Pro® Series Feed Chopper™

2024 Highline BP965 Bale Pro® Series Feed Chopper™

REAL flexibility

Ideal for feeding and bedding - the BP 965 Bale Pro® offers all of the proven design features found on the Highline® Bale Pro® series with the added flexibility to process round or square bales as desired...as well as other beneficial design features like a 9’ (2.74 m) flail drum which increases processing rate.

One of the challenges of processing square bales is maintaining both a high loading efficiency AND high processing efficiency (the competition fails to deliver on either one or the other). The BP 965 Bale Pro® capable of processing a 4’ x 4’ x 9’ (1.2 x 1.2 x 2.7 m) bale in minutes! The Twine Sickle™ Bale Prepping System on the BP 965 helps with this efficiency.

Bale processing times are contingent on bale type, aggression setting and tractor horsepower.

Forages may react differently when the twine pressure is removed.

The Feed Chopper™, exclusively from Highline®, is a secondary processing option to create shorter cut lengths. Rather than stationary knives that pulverize or drag leaves off of stems, the Highline® Feed Chopper™ truly slices through the hay creating an optimal consistency. The Feed Chopper™ is a great alternative to tub grinders.

• Improves Whole Plant Intake - Chopping reduces particle size of the whole plant improving intake of the stem portion. This is the part cows and sheep sort against. The efficiency of forage utilization improves, reducing the amount of forages for winter feeding the herd.

• Reduces Waste While Increasing Palatability - Cattle have preferences in what they eat. For example, longer coarse feed and low quality hay may have adequate nutritional value, but are not eaten, creating feed waste. By chopping low quality hay, intake of feed is increased, cattle will clean up the windrow or feed bunks.

• Minimizes Sorting - Consistent shorter cut length hay from the Feed Chopper™ ensures cattle do not sort different length material or grain. Now full feed utilization can occur while the cattle are eating the intended rations.

• Flexibility of Feed Types - The Highline® Feed Chopper™ excels at cutting a wide range of bales including silage, corn or old straw bales. Feed sources can include: Corn Stover, Canola Straw, Green Feed, Alfalfa and Silage Bales, processed to an appropriate blend of cut length.

Features may include:

• The singular, flat smooth top allows for easy cleaning. The magnetic curtain retainers break free when obstructed.

• Standard on all models.

• For better material containment.

• Keep hoses protected and out of the mud! Quickly hook up to the tractor with the hoses now located conveniently beside the tractor remotes. The hose holder locks out of the way during hook up or for shipping.

• Reduces pressure spikes increasing the motor life and durability.

• Adjustable length fork design for round or square bales.

• For improved positioning when loading the second bale.
