This is a spinner, for a cannonball bale bed.Used to stab a round bale. Like a rotisserie for a round bale.Farmer friend lost one of his off his truck.So I rummaged thru my metal pile and got all the metal rounded up and cut.Just a couple welders, big hammers, grinders, and torches.Work will free you.Men in dirty jeans built this country, while men in clean suits have destroyed it.

Reply:Ok stupid question time and a high jack.  Why would one want to unroll the bails? Looks like it would be a waste and create more expense.ECAVE Still learnin'Lincoln AC225Lincoln 135SPHF ChopsawVictor O/ANumerous other items
Reply:Came out very nice.The round welds are perfect, unlike mineYou should have noticed (not saying it's bad), that the round stock, and thick plate, soaked up a lot of heat when welding.  It's the reason the beads are a bit high.  I'd guess 1/8 rod at maybe 115ish amps, to maybe 125amps.  You could juice it up a bit, but actually you're in a situation where a bigger rod is nicer.  5/32 carries more amps, and will make for a hotter, flatter, weld.  As a general rule, I usually jump up from 1/8 to 5/32 when dealing with 3/8" and thicker plate.  Give it a shot, at around 150-175amps, and see how you like it compared to the smaller rods.Nice job"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:Never was crazy about unrolling bales, lot of waste when they scatter it, and crap all over it.  Using a feeder is best, but a lot of guys DO prefer to roll them out."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:Built in South Central Kansas. About a half dozen manufacturers building one brand or another. Deweze was one of the first. Notice the K-State Wildcat tags on the back of the stock trailers. Would cost a ton to ship one to AK from KS!

Reply:I misspelled in the post above yours.It was meant to be "spoiled".Some people just spoil their cattle rotten, and that's how you waste hay.Not much snow around here anymore.It rained a "foot", melted a bunch of the snow, and has been around zero F* for the last 4 days.Just a couple welders, big hammers, grinders, and torches.Work will free you.Men in dirty jeans built this country, while men in clean suits have destroyed it.
