Take the hassle out of feeding large round bales with the Agway Chainless Bale
Feeder. Its chainless operation provides safer, more consistent operation,
keeping the bale In control. The BFSOOO also reduces spoilage caused by bales
sitting outside in bulky inefficient stationary units. The Agway Chainless Bale
Feeder works as well In the bam as It does in the field, allowing you more
freedom to decide when and where to feed
your livestock. Talk to your local authorized
Agway dealer for purchase details. iT*riCff mm <7 iiiiiwr
