Underhaug BaleStrip
Easy removal of plastic and net – can also be used as a regular round bale gripper

The Silastrip has as standard 3 tines. One upper and two lower. In addition, it is equipped with a hydraulic claw. The claw is normally open in the upper position. The claw is hydraulically operated.

Operation
Set the lower tines in their innermost position. Insert the upper tine as high as possible in the bale. Use the stationary knife to split the plastic at the bottom of the bale. Position the bale over the feeding location. Lower he claw towards the upper tine and squeeze plastic and net. By spreading the lower tines, the bale will open; the silage will fall out, and the plastic will remain squeezed between the upper tine and the claw. The Silastrip can also be used as a standard hydraulic round bale gripper with roller arms.

Conversion to round bale gripper is done in a few minutes by inserting rollers (tubes) on the 2 lower tines and securing with a screw. The horizontal knife between the tines must be tilted up and locked. Take off the upper tine and tilt up the claw to a vertical position and activate the lock. The Silastrip can now be used for lifting and transporting round bales.
