Tie-Grabber Stacks Bales Better
 ✖  |
Whether stacking bales in the field or for storage, a single strand of twine tied around them makes them more stable. The single strand and limited compression let them continue to breathe and cure down. The Norden Tie-Grabber does the job. It was a natural next step for the company that started selling mechanical accumulators in 2005, according to Glen Kuhns.
“My dad built a mechanical small bale accumulator for our farm to automate the bale-making process,” says Kuhn. “At the time, all the accumulators used hydraulics, and my dad’s tractor didn’t produce enough flow.”
Soon after starting to sell the mechanical accumulators, the company developed the hydraulic-powered Tie-Grabber. Since then, they’ve sold both accumulators and matched-for-size Tie-Grabbers throughout North America and some internationally.
“The Tie-Grabber picks up a group of bales and ties it off before setting it on a transport,” says Kuhns. “It makes the tied groups more stable for vertical stacks that won’t fall over.”
Tie-Grabbers are available in multiple configurations. The smallest is the KN408F, requiring a loader with a 1,700-lb. lift capacity. It picks up and ties a group of eight flat, small square bales, 2 long and 4 wide. The largest is the KN618 with a 2,600-lb. loader lift capacity. It grabs 18 on-edge bales and ties them off in a 6-wide and 3-long configuration. Other units include 10 and 15-bale groups in either flat or on-edge configurations, as well as a 12 flat bale unit.
Prices range from $10,475 for the KN408F to $11,575 for the KN618. Multiple hose options are available, with two hydraulic hoses for use with a splitter, or four hoses for use without a splitter.
