Why move one bale at a time when you can pick up two? This question likely crossed the mind of inventor Howard McKay as he looked for a way to help farmers be more efficient. The challenge for McKay was finding a way to not damage the bales while in transit and proper placement when loading. His answer? The Hay Handler.
McKay’s Hay Handler bale fork attachment uses independently controlled arms that raises the first bale on the fork so it doesn’t drag on the ground when picking up the second bale. In this video from Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon last month, McKay was busy demonstrating his award-winning invention for many a curious onlooker.
