Rankin NXE6-SS

Stacking and moving small square bales one or two at a time is slow work. The Rankin BaleMax NXE6-SS grabs a stack of four to six bales at once, so you're making fewer trips between the field and the barn and spending less time on the tractor seat doing it.

The NXE6-SS mounts to any SSQA (Skid Steer Quick Attach) machine — skid steers, compact track loaders, or any other equipment with a standard universal quick attach plate. Hoses and pioneer couplers are included, so you're not sourcing fittings before your first use.

Square bale handling puts a different demand on an attachment than round bales — you need consistent grip across a stacked load that shifts as you travel. At 700 lbs, the BaleMax has the steel to hold a full stack firmly without flexing. Move bales from the field to the stack, restack storage, or load out for feeding — the grapple handles all of it.

On a wet fall day when you're trying to get the last cutting under cover before rain, being able to move six bales per pass instead of two makes a real difference.
