THIS WAGON
You don’t have to wait on a wagon that unloads
itself. So. the Sperry New Holland automatic bale wagon
is the only hay wagon your farm needs.
The automatic bale wagon can pick up bales from
the field faster than a baler can make them. At the
barn or stacking area, it unloads in just minutes, mak

Best of all, one person does it all from the seat of a
tractor. The bale wagon frees labor for other work
aTid enables you to put up your hay ahead of the weather.
The automatic bale wagon is for farmers who want
