Smarter Hay Handling Systems

Fast, Safe and Efficient Small Bale Handling

The Jadan Small Bale Grab is the ideal solution for farmers, contractors, and produce stores looking to move and stack small square bales with speed and precision. Designed for effortless operation, the Grab attaches directly to your front-end loader or forklift and uses tractor hydraulics to securely lift a full pack of bales with no manual lifting required.

With smooth, reliable mechanical handling, the Grab protects bale integrity, reduces leaf loss, and dramatically cuts down the time spent collecting and stacking bales. From paddock to shed to truck, it delivers consistent, high-efficiency performance while improving safety across your operation.

Boost Productivity and Eliminate Manual Lifting

Manual bale handling is slow, physically demanding, and increases the risk of workplace injuries.
The Jadan Small Bale Grab solves all of that.

With a single operator in the tractor cab, the Grab picks up full packs of bales, typically 10-bale or 15-bale packs and places them directly onto trailers, shed stacks, or storage rows. Its rugged build and precise mechanics ensure smooth, predictable movement in every cycle.

Key Benefits

Eliminates manual lifting, reducing fatigue and injury risk

Handles full packs of small square bales effortlessly

Fast loading and stacking, saving hours each day

Preserves bale quality with minimal leaf loss

Compatible with a wide range of loaders and forklifts

Fully Australian-made for long-term durability

Designed for Tough Australian Conditions

Like all Jadan equipment, the Small Bale Grab is built in Australia from high-strength materials designed to perform reliably in demanding agricultural environments.
Its heavy-duty construction and simple, low-maintenance mechanics make it a dependable partner during busy hay seasons.

Every component is engineered for long service life, consistent performance, and seamless compatibility with Jadan’s complete hay handling system.

  • 10 & 15 Bale Configuration Layout

  • 10 & 15 Bale Configuration Layout

    Jadan grabs are available in two fixed configurations: 10 or 15 bale layouts, designed to suit different handling requirements and equipment capacities. These configurations ensure optimal balance and efficiency for stacking and transporting small square bales. This flexibility applies to all Standard and Sideshift models, giving operators the choice that best fits their workflow.  

    When choosing the sideshift option, you need to be aware, that it requires 4th function on the loader to operate.

Bale Size Compatibility

The Jadan Small Bale Grab is designed around standard bale dimensions.
Typical bale measurements:

  • Length: 790-840 mm (31-33 inches)
  • Width: ~460 mm (18 inches)
  • Height: ~360 mm (14 inches)

This ensures consistent, secure gripping whether you’re handling freshly baled hay, straw, or produce store stock.

Works Seamlessly With the Jadan Accumulator

For maximum efficiency, pair the Small Bale Grab with the Jadan Accumulator.

As the Accumulator drops perfectly aligned 15 bale packs onto the ground, the Grab picks them up instantly and stacks them with precision. Together, these two machines create a complete small bale handling system that boosts output and reduces labour dramatically.
