Scheppach transport and loading bale fork for mini loader MKL730 — attachment for handling round and square bales

The Scheppach transport and loading bale fork for mini loader MKL730 is an attachment designed to fit the MKL730 mini loader and enable safe transport and handling of round and square bales. Built for use in agricultural, horticultural and small-holding environments, this bale fork converts the loader into a versatile tool for moving bundled forage, straw or similar compacted loads. It mounts to the loader's front attachment point and provides a stable lifting interface for loading trailers, stacking in storage areas and repositioning bales around the yard.

Advantages

The bale fork offers a robust and simple design that delivers reliable handling of bundled loads without the need for manual intervention. Its connection geometry is matched to the MKL730 loader to ensure secure mounting and consistent performance. By allowing operators to pick up and place round and square bales with the loader, the attachment reduces time and physical strain compared with manual handling. The construction supports routine outdoor use on farms and small properties and is suitable for repeated loading and transport tasks.

Suitable for

• Transporting and loading round bales of forage or straw
• Handling square/rectangular bales and compacted bundles
• Stacking bales in storage areas or barns
• Loading and unloading trailers and transport vehicles
• General material handling tasks around small farms and holdings

How to use

Fit the bale fork to the MKL730 mini loader using the loader's front attachment coupling following the loader manufacturer's mounting procedure. Approach the bale slowly, centring the tines or forks beneath the bundle to obtain balanced support. Lift smoothly to avoid sudden movements and transport the bale to the target location. When placing or stacking, lower the attachment carefully until the bale is supported by the ground or adjacent bales, then disengage the loader coupling and withdraw the loader. Regularly check that the mount points are secure before operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the attachment only with the Scheppach MKL730 or compatible front mounting systems. Verify bale weight and loader lifting capacity before each operation to avoid overloading. Perform routine visual inspections of welds, mounting pins and structural members; replace damaged components and tighten fasteners as required. Operate at controlled speeds on even ground and avoid abrupt turns while carrying suspended loads.
