The model 2660 and 2665 two-bale processors are the most popular processors in the Haybuster line and perhaps the most popular bale processors models in the world. Carry one round bale in the chamber and the second bale on the loader and you are good to go. Whether it’s feeding your cattle or covering loose soil, this model will work for you.
The model 2660 is the two-bale processor that is in demand! This economical machine is perfect for feeding and bedding your cattle, with all the features that have put the Haybuster Balebusters far ahead of the competition. Some of those features include right-hand discharge and the chain and slat conveyor table that rotates the bale while the heavy-duty rotor and hammers chop off the material, discharging the hay out of the machine. Consistent and steady processing of all types of bales is what our customers have learned to expect from the Haybuster Balebusters. Whether it’s feeding into bunks, feeding on the ground or bedding down the cattle, this is the processor for you!
Heavy-duty chain conveyor with more durable chain and heavier drive shafts.
Rotor is driven through the chain case, which reverses the direction of the rotor for right side discharge and also increases the rotor speed by 30%.
Two-stage bale loader that easily picks up bales without disturbing other bales and gouging the ground.
Heavy-duty tubular frame construction designed to carry heavy bales.
Rotor access door gives you easy access to rotor for service and maintenance.
Adjustable slug bars allows you to easily position the bale from the rotor and hammers allowing
