Hay conveyor

[macec3(TX)]

Can anyone give me some information on this hay conveyor. I know it attaches to the left side of a trailer and picks up the bales, lifts them up and the bale falls onto the trailer. This one works very well. We used it yesterday. The man I bought it from didn't know brand/manufacturer or any thing about it. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

One type like that was called a SNOWCO, AIRC.

I can't recall the brand name anymore of that contraption, but an old guy I worked for many years ago had one. I used to operate a couple of wagons he had that thing on, and I could easily work about three men to death with that thing. Once you get the hang of it, you can hit a bale that is oriented most any way and it would pick it up.....

That looks like a Knieb Pop-Up bale loader. There were several in the neighborhood back in the day. Knieb was bought out by Bush Hog.

Thanks to all of you for the info. Never heard of Knieb and did not know that Bush Hog had bought them and produced a pop-up bale loader. Found some information after you men identified the manufacturer. Again Thank you very much.

My dad bought, I think, my uncles in 65. It was a green henry. mine is green also, with, I think orange wheels, so I think it is a Henry also.
