2024 Hydra Bed HydraBed® HB3250

Feeding is one of the most important daily tasks on every livestock operation. Equipment must perform at full capacity under adverse conditions. Our HydraBed® system meets and exceeds those tough conditions and equips your 3/4 ton or larger truck for a wide range of farm and ranch jobs. The flush-mounted, live-hydraulic powered bale handler is totally integrated into the rugged flatbed. Winter feeding, summer hay hauling, year-round trailer towing and many other lifting tasks are easily and safely accomplished. Fingertip hydraulic controls enable you to haul, transport and/or unroll two large round or square bales. Generations of farm and ranch families across North America have proven the rugged dependability of the HydraBed® system on their operations for over three decades.

Five variations offer customized control of the HydraBed® to fit the operational setting and user's preference.

CABLE CONTROLS offer exceptional speed regulation with the ability to control the flow of oil to any function of the HydraBed®. The resulting responsiveness allows for variable speed feathering for every loading situation.

WIRELESS REMOTE incorporates safety features including multi-second ON switch and a time-out function to prevent accidental actuation without denying operational freedom.

PENDANT features hard-wired toggle switch operation, which provides reliable control of all valve functions while adding the option to operate from outside of the truck cab.

REDUNDANT control gives flexibility in choosing the type of control that best fits the task at hand with multiple control set-up: wireless remote and corded pendant.

HYDRASTX® smooth and precise variable speed joystick control.

Every HydraBed® control system is equipped with SureStop™ technology load control. This feature allows the operator to safely and instantly stop a descending bale at any point and at accelerated operating speeds without damaging the valve, cylinders and hoses.

Arms open to 92 inches for unobstructed approach to bales. Automatic arm synchronization combined with a tight, 28 inch closed position generates positive grip on even less than perfect bales.

Every HydraBed® is installed with our unique Level-Lok mounting system with automatic side to side centering and front to back leveling of the bed. Developed in 1984, this heavy duty bracket system provides the installer ample weld area for secure mounting, customized to your make and model of truck. Once installed, the removal of 6 bolts allows simple bed take-off or transfer.

Engine-driven pump provides bale load times as fast as 4 seconds. Electrically driven pump provides load times as fast as 12 seconds. Determined by required hydraulic pressure or truck engine RPMs.
