Hydra Bed by Triple C
A Leader in Hay Handling Equipment
Triple C started a revolution in round bale handling and feeding in 1983 with the introduction of the Hydra Bed®, the first flush-mount, self-storing flatbed bale handler. Since that time, we have continued to develop other cattle management products designed to thrive in the tough operating conditions found on operations like yours. Cattlemen and women all across North America have come to appreciate the durability, ease of operation and the dependability of our Hydra Line™ Products.

Pro Spear
Innovative features engineered for the Pro Spear.
The Pro Spear combines time tested engineering utilized in the Hydra Bed with a commitment toward manufacturing the best looking spear bed in the marketplace. The hinges are identical to that of the Hydra Bed—12″ total. They are located 12″beneath the surface of the flatbed achieving a low lifting position. This is particularly important when handling older bales.
The construction of the frame, drop hitch, headache rack and 5th wheel channel iron are similar to that of the Hydra Bed or Triple C Flatbed. The sides of the bed are constructed of 6″ high by 3/8″ thick flat iron. This was done to enhance the profile appearance. Although the Pro Spear will be marketed toward the value-minded customer, our craftsmanship and finish will not be compromised.

Hydra TM2000
Tractor-mount bale handler/unroller has synchronized bale-gripping arms to assure positive bale centering and handling ease.
The HydraTM2000™ tractor-mount bale handler/unroller from Triple C carries the same proven design features for efficient bale unrolling.
Bales weighing up to 2,000 pounds can be transported or unrolled from the comfort and safety of your tractor cab. (The safe lifting capacity of your tractor’s 3-point hitch will determine maximum load handling capability.) The automatically synchronized bale-gripping arms assure positive centering of the bale. This proven design feature makes unrolling solid core bales of all types simple and efficient. Designed only for use on ROPS equipped tractors. Always wear your safety belt.
Hydra Grabber™
Retractable bale hook desing elminates bale spear accidents and stack push-over; easily attaches to skid-loaders and tractors.
Loading and transporting large square bales becomes safe and efficient with the Hydra Grabber™ loader attachment. The simple but effective design of this machine engages bales from any side. By eliminating the need to “spear” bales, the Hydra Grabber™ prevents the damage to buildings, trucks and trailers that can result from pushing into stacks. Hydraulic power provides rapid engagement and retraction of the aggressive bale hooks.
With the hooks retracted, the operator simply places the machine in contact with the selected bale face. Stack push-over is no longer a concern, as the bale hooks move from fully retracted to fully embedded in the bale only after the loader is no longer in motion. Stacking on trucks, trailers or in barns becomes fast and simple. After bales are in position, the hooks are hydraulically retracted, releasing the bales. The dangerous problem of pulling the stack back on the loader is prevented, improving safety and efficiency. When equipped with the Hydra Grabber™, most tractor loaders become capable of loading and unloading an entire truck or trailer from one side, resulting in significant time savings.
Bradford Built Beds
Bradford Built, Inc.
If you use your truck for a truck, then you’ll appreciate all the standard features on a Bradford Built truck bed. Things like 1/8″ thick tread plate floor, a 30,000 lb. rated gooseneck hitch and the incredibly strong receiver type bumper hitch. With the 4″ tall flip-up side rails, you won’t be back tracking, looking for your chains or spare tire. Chain “keyholes” in the headache rack, flush-mounted D-rings in the side rails and stake pockets in the deck make it easy to secure any load. The sealed beam lights are flush mounted and there is a 7-pole plug-in for your trailer. The rear corners of the deck are tapered so backing up a little too close to the dock won’t take out the lights. The forward taper allows for locating the gooseneck ball further forward while still clearing your trailer gussets in a turn. The powder coat paint gives it an attractive, durable and easy-to-wash surface.
Kick tires, check prices, and if you don’t settle on Bradford Built hands down, then call and tell us why. Our goal is simple.
Build the very best truck bed for the money in the United States of America. Thank you for your time and thank you for considering a Bradford Built.
