Bale Bed Winder


Operator must have one hand on shut off control at all times when machine is in motion. This may be on the truck or the wire winder itself.

*When ordering, always know the size of the tube on the arm of your bale bed. This will ensure that you receive the mount that fits your bale bed on your truck.

  • Our Bale Bed Wire Winder mounting design makes it possible to mount your hydraulic wire winder to any hydraulic bale bed on the market today. This unit performs exactly like any of our other hydraulic wire winders.

    This winder is designed to be operated from either side of your truck, either on the outside or inside of the arm. However, Hotwood’s suggests that you mount it on the inside of the arm on the driver’s side of the truck, as shown in the photos. By doing that, you can raise the arm up and over to set your rolled wire on the bed of your truck. This makes handling the heavy rolls of wire much easier.

    – Comes with 10’ Hoses ½’’ Male Pipe Ends (No Quick Couplers Will Be Provided)

    – Comes Complete with Ball Valve and All Necessary Hardware

The Bale Bed Wire Winder comes standard with the Orange Flat Reel Washer. If you’re interested in a replacement washer, click below to learn more.

  • Here at Hotwood’s, we have designed a washer that goes on the outside of the reel with a pin welded to it that keeps the end reel from ever spinning during the operation of your winder. This can replace the original 1” flat washer your winder came with. Painted orange to keep it visible if ever dropped in the field, this washer and pin are now available for purchase. The washer is designed to work on all single reel winders (does not fit High Tensile, Magnum, or Heavy Duty units).

I use a Hotwood’s Bale Bed wire winder because it works, thats it! –


Our Bale Bed Wire Winder has all the same capabilities and functions as the 3 Point Hydraulic Wire Winder. Any and all solid reels that we manufacture will work with this Bale Bed unit except the magnum unit.


Our standard split yellow reel, shown above, holds up to 1/2 mile of barbed wire
and up to 1 mile of smooth wire.


Photo above shows rubber spyder gear in place prior to mounting the motor on the motor mount. It is important that this lines up correctly with coupler on the shaft.

Always make sure the Lovejoy coupler and rubber spyder gear between the drive shaft and motor mount are true to each other. This will assure smooth operating while rolling wire.

Don’t Forget to Checkout our New Universal Wire Unroller!


  • Not only is our Universal Wire Unroller built to last, but it also has multiple mounting options so it can be used on the receiver of a pickup or mounted on the 3 point tool bar or your Hotwood’s winder. The unroller is easy to load—just fold the weight or resistance plate up out of the way, take the yellow spool carrier out of the frame, and split the two yellow spool carriers apart. Those are telescoping into each other. This allows you to put them through the center of the roll of new wire or any fitting reel. Place the roll back in the frame, lower the yellow resistance plate down on the reel, and you are ready to unroll wire.

Yellow two-piece telescoping reel carrier being lowered into place on the right. This is the carrier you would put between any of our solid spools or a new roll of wire, barbed or smooth.

Unroller shown mounted on pickup via 2” receiver hitch and one of our solid spools with resistance or brake plate being lowered in place. This plate will sit on top of the roll of wire as it pays out, keeping the roll from free spooling if you have to stop. The 2” receiver tube is long enough to give clearance for the tailgate to be in the down position while rolling out wire. The 5/8’’ shaft that protrudes outside the main frame through each side of the unroller is to be used as handles while lifting your reels in and out of the machine. The telescoping yellow circle plates are welded and slide together through our solid reels or a new roll of wire, barbed or smooth.
