Cotton frames have to withstand a very high weight load. Cotton bales are way bigger than all hay bales, so you need a heavier frame and cotton spears for the job. Our cotton frames are made in the U.S.A and we inspect everyone before we ship them. These aren’t mass produced but are made one at a time and all designed by PRO-Link, INC for the best cotton frame money can buy. Comes with our (1) one year warranty and we’re a family, locally owned business.
