Elevators & Chutes

Elevators & Chutes

Manually hauling bales can slow down your harvest and require significant physical effort. Elevators and chutes immediately prove their value when haying and harvesting ramp up. Tractor Supply offers solutions that lift, guide and drop bales with minimal effort, resulting in faster loading, neater stacking and more energy at the end of the day.

Keep Bales Climbing All Season

A loaded hay elevator turns one of the toughest jobs on a farm and ranch into a task that a single person can manage. Haying and harvesting runs on tight timing, and the right equipment spares your crew the repeated climbing and throwing that can lead to fatigue over a long day. Reliable hay handling protects the bales, too, since smooth movement means fewer dropped loads and less wasted feed. Matching the right pieces to your setup makes all the difference once the bales start coming in.

Extend Your Elevator's Reach

Tall lofts and long wagons often call for more elevator length than a base unit provides. Chain-driven extensions bolt onto an existing elevator to add reach, allowing bales to travel higher or farther in a single continuous pass. Common lengths include 4 ft. and 8 ft., so you can match the added run to your barn height or loading setup. The chain keeps the bales evenly spaced and moving up the incline under a heavy load. Pick the length that closes the gap between your machine and where the hay needs to land.

Guide Bales Safely

Sending bales down from a loft or off a wagon goes more smoothly with a chute to control their path. A bale chute creates a guided track that slides bales to the ground or onto a stack without tumbling or breaking apart. Pan-style chutes use a wide, trough-shaped channel that cradles each bale as it descends, which keeps the load centered. Width and mounting style vary, so check the opening against your loft or wagon before you choose.
