Cake & Supplement Feeding

This 4 x 4 bale is being range-fed at the rate of one flake per drop 
to minimize hay waste from trampling.
Bales can also be fed in larger segments as desired.

Dispensing flakes in bunks or along 
fenceline feed racks is simple, safe and accurate.

High-value hay can easily be fed in 
tires or hay rings with this versatile 
flaking machine.

The introduction of large square hay packages in the ‘80s provided producers the ability to mechanically harvest, handle, stack and transport bales efficiently. For nearly 2 decades, many of our customers have utilized their Hydra BedÒ systems to load and transport these large square bales. In most ranch situations, range feeding of these "big squares" has been a 2-person task, typically requiring a driver and someone on the truck bed to separate and drop individual flakes off to the cattle.

Triple C, Inc. developed the Hydra FLKRä (patent pending) specifically to safely and efficiently accomplish this task with a single operator, greatly reducing costs and risk of injury to personnel. After bales are loaded utilizing the proven power and dependability of the Hydra BedÒ, the Hydra FLKRä separates flakes from each bale, then drops them onto the ground or feed aprons as well as into bunks, hay rings or tire feeders. The operator controls the rate at which each bale is processed.

To minimize leaf loss, flake separation is accomplished utilizing an innovative retracting finger mechanism. The hydraulic ramping function helps control premature flake drop and the bale advance design provides incremental feeding rates at the operator’s discretion. The machine is powered by the Hydra BedÒ system hydraulics and controlled from the driver’s seat. The Hydra FLKRä is easily and quickly installed on most Hydra BedÒ models and can be removed in minutes when feeding season is completed.
