Where Is Your Hay Going?
Two markets. Two machines.
Exporting overseas
High-volume pressing for export markets
Compressed, containerized hay for dairies and feedlots across the Pacific and Middle East. The Wraith Bale Former processes up to 20 metric tonnes per hour. 60 bales and 24 tonnes in every 40-foot container.
Moving hay at home
Bale resizing for domestic markets
Turn 3×3 and 3×4 field bales into consistent, retail-ready small bales for in-country transport, feed stores, and end users. The Tempest Bale Slicer gives commercial producers market flexibility without slowing the field.
Machine down? Same-day response, every time.
What We Do
Specialists in commercial hay equipment, from the machine to the parts that run it.
Ghost River Systems is an Alberta-based manufacturer and parts supplier focused exclusively on commercial hay processing equipment. We design and build our own machinery, and we stock the hydraulic and electrical components to support hay processing operations worldwide.
Our parts catalog covers GRS equipment and a wide range of commercial hay processing machinery, including large bale press systems and associated processing equipment. Stocked items ship fast. Hard-to-find components get sourced.
The GRS team brings decades of hands-on experience designing, building, and servicing commercial hay processing equipment. We know these machines from the inside out, which parts fail under load, what breaks during peak season, and what keeps an operation running when it can’t afford to stop.
Our Equipment
Built for commercial hay operations.
Two machines. Two markets. One parts and service program behind both.

- Retail-ready 40–45 lb output
Wraith Bale Former
For the export trade. Reprocesses loose-fed alfalfa into large sleeved bales at up to 20 metric tonnes per hour, HPU-dependent. More product per 40-foot container means lower freight cost per tonne to Pacific and Middle East buyers.
