Oztec Scorpion - 6 Cotton Bale Handler

Scorpion - 6 Cotton Bale Handler
OZTEC is the manufacturer of the revolutionary new product in bale handling, the Scorpion. The machine allows you to carry up to 6 bales at once, with safety and efficiency as top priorities. Specially designed for dryland cotton, where long runs mean multiple trips up and down the paddock, save time and money by picking up more each run and cut the number of trips required. The Scorpion wheel tracks stay on the tramlines during operation, while the tractor moves off momentarily during bale pick up. This is accomplished with a swinging drawbar that can be fixed or swinging using hydraulics. The front axle is capable of self and forced steering.

Throughout the loading and unloading process, safety is maintained by giving you control every step of the way. The “pincers” are on a side shift carriage for lining up the bale, and phasing hydraulic cylinders ensure even clamping pressure during pickup. A travelling “monkey” with hydraulically controlled arms allow you to move and stow the bales as required, and is also used for controlled unloading by pushing the bales off the back after lowering the “tail”. The bales travel along a floor of galvanized pipe rollers for safe handling at all times.
