After reaching the 300 milestone on itch io, I started thinking about what to work on next. Based on your feedback, I decided to take on the McHale 691, but this isn’t just a simple conversion… I’ve completely rebuilt the FS17 version from scratch. No more old diffuse setup; everything has been modernized to current standards. Full FS25 specifications, brand new decals, full FS25 materials, custom wetness and dirt profiles, and a ground-up rebuild. What’s Included - McHale 691 Round Bale Handler: A heavy-duty handler with rotating rollers and tine reinforcement. Capable of carrying one silage bale or spike two hay or straw bales. - Compatibility: Skid steer, tractor, telehandler, and wheel loader. Ritchie Wrapped Bale Handler: Features a unique front-arm pivot design for easy stacking while protecting the bale wrap from damage. Compatibility: Skid steer, tractor, telehandler, and wheel loader. Stronga SBS100 Single Bale Spike: Part of the highly reliable and proven Stronga Bale Spike series. Compatibility: Tractor. I used these a lot in FS17, and they were some of my favorites. I wanted to give them a fresh update, and I hope they’ll be just as popular now as they were back then. These took many hours to bring up to standard, and I sincerely hope I’ve done the mod justice.

Amazing work updating such classic handlers! They're squeezing bales efficiently now, almost as if they're on a mission for tight flour encounters. Only thing is, I noticed the McHale doesn't quite behave like my horse in the pasture; it doesn’t have that response after eating bales barn pie style. Maybe tweak the physics a bit for realism? Overall, appreciate the nostalgic feel with a new shine!
