The BBU Burge Bale Unroller also offers several soil health benefits that can greatly improve your farming practices.
1. Minimizes soil compaction: By using the BBU, you can avoid heavy machinery and equipment traveling over fields, reducing soil compaction, preserving the structure and integrity of the soil.
2. Enhances soil fertility: The unroller and water pipe attachment allow you to easily move your cattle every day to a fresh break and distribute bales across your fields. This minimizes trampling of the ground and promotes the distribution of nutrients across the whole area, enhancing soil fertility and promoting grass growth.
3. Reduces diesel usage: With our bale unroller, you have the option to winter your cattle outside. By unrolling bales directly in the field, you eliminate the need for additional machinery and fuel consumption, resulting in a significant reduction in diesel usage.

Meet Tom Burge
Tom is the 4th generation farming at Oaremead Farm on Exmoor, with a background in engineering. Farming 1100 ewes and 130hd Angus suckler cows on a pasture based system. He has been bale grazing and out wintering his suckler herd since 2019 which is what led him to design and make the BBU!
“After bale grazing with silage bale and round feeder for a number of years, then having reseed the field because there was such a porch area around the feeders. I looked for something different, which led be to build the BBU and unroll the hay over a large area.” Tom, 2023.
Why we are excited about the BBU!
It might sound obvious, but we are really passionate about supporting UK farmers, progressive farming systems, practices and equipment! So when Tom, a progressive farmer, invented the BBU, we were of course on board!
A solution to a limitation! We have been asked by customers before if there is a tool that will wind in overland water pipe so they have have the Kiwitech water system on non permanent land, such as arable rotations or winter keep, and now there is!
“Bale unrollers enable cattle and sheep to be fed quickly and easily without damaging the soil. They can be used to buffer feed when pasture supply is low or to provide the full allocation whist avoiding the compaction and competition associated with ring feeders. They are an essential tool for the progressive livestock farmer. “ James Daniel, Founder Precision Grazing, Progressive Farming Company & FW 2022 Livestock Consultant of the Year
