Hay Net Filler: No More Fiddling with Nets
Anyone who stuffs several hay nets every day knows how tedious it can be. The net collapses, the opening closes, and the hay ends up everywhere except in the net. A hay net filler solves the problem: you hang the net in the filling aid so the opening stays open. Then you fill in the hay with both hands or a hay fork and close the net. The whole job takes just a minute or two.
How the filling aid works
The Kerbl hay net filler is a filling aid that you hook the hay net into. The opening faces upwards and is held open. This lets you distribute the hay evenly and make good use of the net. Once it is full, pull the drawstring tight, unhook the net and take it to the stable. Especially with small-hole nets, which are hard to hold open by hand, you save a lot of time.
Who benefits from a filler
A hay net filler is particularly practical on livery yards and farms with several horses, where lots of nets are prepared every day. But even if you only have one or two horses, you will appreciate less fiddling in the evening. If you prepare nets the day before, they are ready to go in the morning. A fixed place for the filler in the feed room or next to the hay store makes the routine even easier. Helpers on the yard can use it just as easily.
Frequently asked questions
Does the hay net filler fit every hay net?
The filling aid is designed for standard hay nets with a drawstring that can be hooked in at the opening. It is not made for very large round bale nets or closed hay bags. Check the size of your net beforehand.
Can I fill several nets in advance?
Yes, and it saves a lot of time in the daily stable routine. Store the filled nets somewhere dry and airy so the hay does not turn musty. Ideally, prepare no more than you need for one or two days.
How tightly should I stuff the hay net?
Fill the hay loosely but evenly. Hay that is packed too tightly is hard to pull out through small holes, which can frustrate your horse. Loosely filled nets are also quicker to refill.
Hay net fillers for the daily stable routine
Stuffing hay nets is one of those stable jobs that tends to get put off. With a hay net filler it goes much faster: you hook the net into the filling aid, the opening stays open, and the hay goes in with both hands or a fork. Then you pull the drawstring tight, lift the net out and hang it up in the stable. Especially with small holes that are hard to hold open by hand, this makes a big difference. On a livery yard with many horses you save quite a bit of time every day, and even with just your own horse, getting things ready in the evening is done in no time. A fixed spot in the feed room or next to the hay store keeps everything within reach and turns filling into a quick routine. Even helpers who rarely fill nets get the hang of it straight away.
