Meet the TR-8

Enhanced Performance, Practical Features, and On-Farm Impact

Efficient bale handling is crucial during peak harvest times—and the TR-8 Double Bale Handler Elephant Trunk from JM Agri Design is built to rise to the challenge. Purpose-built to move two bales at once with care and confidence, this robust tool is redefining how contractors and farmers work across the UK and Ireland.

In this article, we’ll unpack the standout capabilities of the TR-8, explore the key advantages it brings to your workflow, and share how it performs under real-world conditions.

What Makes the TR-8 Different?

The TR-8 is a hydraulically operated bale handler engineered for safe, damage-free transport of both round and square bales. Its advanced clamping system and dual-arm layout allow operators to manage two bales at a time, saving time and reducing passes across the yard or field.

Thanks to its high-strength build and smooth handling, the TR-8 is especially suited for demanding, high-volume operations. Whether stacking, loading, or relocating bales, this double bale handler offers dependable performance—while safeguarding the plastic wrap essential for preserving silage.
