Hay Net Frame for Large Bale Feeders

Our hay net frame for large bale feeders impresses with its stable construction and practical handling. The frame is made from 33 mm thick steel, making it particularly robust and durable.

Thanks to the integrated tube connectors, the frame can be easily opened, allowing the hay net to be replaced quickly and without complications. This saves time and provides flexibility in daily use.

The hay net frame is available with either a round bale net or a cloth net. The mesh size can be chosen according to your preferences, allowing you to optimally adjust the feed intake for your animals.

We exclusively use high-quality hay nets made in Europe, known for their durability, tear resistance, and animal-friendliness.

We would be happy to advise you personally on choosing the right product for you and your horse. Selecting the correct slow feeder is crucial for your horse's health and for the optimal function of our products.

We kindly ask for your understanding that used products cannot be exchanged for hygiene reasons.

Timed Large Bale Feeder

The intelligent solution for horse-friendly hay feeding

The timed large bale feeder from Heufresser is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to manage their feeding efficiently, reliably and in a horse-friendly manner. It is particularly suitable for group housing of several horses and ensures a controlled, regular hay supply – without daily effort.

Natural feeding – stress-free and healthy

Horses are naturally grazers and require regular access to roughage throughout the day. The timed large bale feeder, with its individually programmable control, enables reliable feeding without long feeding breaks.

Up to eight opening and eight closing times can be programmed daily. This allows natural feeding intervals to be replicated, feeding stress to be reduced, and the risk of feeding-related illnesses to be minimized. At the same time, it creates more calm in the herd and significantly relieves the horse owner in daily stable management.

Feeding spaces and drive

Depending on the version, the timed large bale feeder has three or four timed feeding sides. All sides are controlled simultaneously and each has its own motor. This design ensures reliable and long-lasting operation.

The large bale feeder is available in different power variants:

* Ready-to-plug-in 230-volt version

* Battery operated 

* Autonomous solar system

This allows the system to be flexibly adapted to almost any location.

High-quality materials and robust construction

Every timed large bale feeder is carefully handcrafted in Germany. The construction consists of a stable KVH frame and high-quality larch wood and screen printing elements.

The exterior cladding can be individually made from screen printing plates or larch wood. The floor is made of robust screen printing material and allows for easy cleaning by sweeping or washing out.

Timed walls with safety concept

The timed walls consist of sturdy screen printing plates and are moved upwards by means of motors. When open, the walls disappear completely within the lower barrier and allow the horses free access to the hay.

When closed, the closing height is 170 cm. The walls intentionally do not close all the way to the roof. This serves as an important safety aspect and prevents the horses from getting trapped. The door side closes approx. 6cm lower due to the door frame. 

Individual barrier height and roof variants

The height of the lower barriers can be individually selected:

* 65 cm

* 80 cm

* 95 cm

In addition, various roof variants are available:

* Roof size 3 × 3 meters

* Roof size 5 × 5 meters

* Version without roof

External dimensions: 200 cm long x 200 cm wide
Internal dimensions: 175cm long x 175cm wide
Internal height: lowest point 230cm, highest point 250cm (the roof is sloped for better water drainage)

Delivery and assembly

The timed large bale feeder is delivered by freight forwarder. The recipient must provide appropriate facilities for unloading on site. We recommend a vehicle with a fork length of at least 120 cm and a lifting capacity of at least 1.5 tons.

Shipping costs are calculated individually based on the delivery address. We would be happy to provide you with a non-binding offer.

The large bale feeder is largely pre-assembled upon delivery. Only the roof battens and the trapezoidal sheet metal need to be assembled on site. Detailed assembly instructions are included.

Upon request, we can carry out roof assembly on site for an additional charge.

Individual consultation

Every horse farm has different requirements. Therefore, we recommend a personal consultation before purchasing. Many features and details can be individually adapted to your needs.
