Sidewinder Attachment for BFR-180 Round Bale Feeder
Details
The Wessex Sidewinder Attachment for the BFR-180 round bale feeder is an extension conveyor designed for high-level feeding into a trough or manger. It extends to the left—leaving the right free for feeding or bedding operations with the Crossfire straw spreader—and requires two double-acting hydraulic spools (or one with a diverter valve).
Full Details
Manufactured in our Hampshire facility, the Wessex Sidewinder Attachment enhances the versatility of the BFR-180 round bale feeder by providing an efficient extension conveyor for high-level feeding applications. Engineered for modularity, this attachment allows operators to feed directly into a trough or manger, while its leftward extension design keeps the right side available for alternate functions such as bedding with the Crossfire straw spreader. The Sidewinder Attachment is integrated into the BFR-180’s flexible system, which can be configured in multiple modes—including a standalone bale feeder, a straw spreader/bale feeder combination, or a bale feeder with an extension chute.
Designed for robust performance, the Sidewinder requires two double-acting hydraulic spools to operate effectively, although a single double-acting spool with a diverter valve can also be utilised. This configuration ensures reliable control and smooth operation under demanding conditions. With its low maintenance requirements and straightforward integration into the BFR-180 system, the Sidewinder Attachment is an ideal solution for modern agricultural operations seeking to improve feeding efficiency and operational versatility.
