“Travel easily over rough or wet ground”

Designed to load and unload the bale quickly and easily using an electric winch & remote control.

The BT500 Bale Transporter is a fantastic tool for moving round bales of hay or silage where a tractor is not available or if the ground is too wet for such a heavy machine.

  • Robust galvanised steel chassis
  • Electric loading/unloading winch as standard
  • Twin pivoting axles for smooth travelling
  • Huge 900kg capacity
  • 2 year warranty

Go where others cannot

Designed for use behind an ATV, UTV or 4×4 (off-road only) the low ground pressure and relatively lightweight of the BT500 allows it to travel easily over rough or wet ground for feeding out-wintered stock.

The BT500 can also be utilised on smallholdings and in equestrian yards where a tractor is not available, allowing round bales to be used in place of small square bales at a considerable cost saving.

Innovative Design

The BT500 features an electric winch for loading and unloading the bale as standard, along with remote control. This allows even the heaviest bales to be loaded with ease and makes hitching and un-hitching the bale transporter quick and easy with just one small electrical plug connection to be made.

The innovative design of the BT500 round bale transporter means that the cradle arms automatically grip the bale as it is reversed up to it for loading, with only 1 small ratchet strap to be attached before the bale can be loaded securely and safely using the remote winch control.

Heavy Duty Build You Can Rely On

The BT500 is fitted with a heavy duty, pivoting Twin Axle with large 22x11x8″ flotation tyres as standard.

The Twin Axle setup allows the BT500 to cope with a maximum 900kg bale weight whilst also reducing ground pressure, enabling smoother towing over rough ground allowing silage and hay bales to be moved with ease.

After months of research looking at other makes and cheaper makes we bought the Chapman round bale trailer. We needed to be able to move bales into the field over the winter and using a tele handlers was just making a mess. We opted for the twin axle version for the low ground pressure and the added capacity. The built quality is great, strong, galvanized and effortless to use with the remote electric winch. We run it behind a quad bike and this works really well. We should have bought one years ago.

I purchased the ATV bale trailer (2024) and the FM120 (earlier this year). Both are solid, well built machines! There are cheaper machines out there, but the build quality of the Chapman speaks for itself. The company couldn't have been more helpful - I phoned up before ordering to ask a few questions and once since purchasing as I was struggling to locate a grease point. Each time I have spoken to someone with fantastic knowledge about the machines and have answered all my queries.
