"From a costing and efficiency perspective, I was a long way in front using the Hustler." He also likes the fact, that the Hustler bale feeder takes the bale right down to the core, even a very tightly wrapped bale gets broken up nicely. It gave him the capability of handling large square bales in addition to the round bales he produces himself, and he could take four bales out at a time, instead of just three. Peter saw a solution in the Hustler Chainless X5000 (TX205) trailed bale feeder. "I purchased a Hustler and the difference between having hay left or no hay left, was phenomenal." "That’s like buying 100 bales of hay and then sticking a match to 30 of them.” “They like to lay on it, trample it and spoil it." Peter estimates that he was wasting around 30% of each bale. “It was quite easy to undo the netting and let the bales roll down the hill, but with cattle you get a lot of wastage,” Peter says. Previously when feeding his cattle, Peter would use the hills on his property to roll out his round bales. Not only is he a passionate farmer, but also owns and operates a farm machinery dealership so he happens to know a thing or two about machinery. He operates a mixed cropping and grazing property on 350 hectares and runs about 120 Angus breeders in a self-replacing herd. Peter Russell farms at Lyndhurst on the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. ![]()
