Load Bed Extension Kit Doubles Capacity Of Bale Accumulator

Load Bed Extension Kit Doubles Capacity Of Bale Accumulator BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 23-1-36 Owners of Hoelscher's 1030 bale accumulator can now double their bale carrying capacity from two bales to four with a load bed extension kit from Bale Edge, L.L.C. "It lets you group up to four bales in one place, making bale pickup a lot faster and eliminating extra trips across the field. Fewer trips across the field reduces soil compaction and crop damage," says company representative Phil Spaniol. Hoelscher's 1030 bale accumulator is pulled directly behind mid-size balers like the Case-IH 8575, Hesston 4755, Deere 100, New Holland 590, or the Claas Quadrant 1100 baler. It'll handle bales up to 31 1/2 in. sq. and 8 ft., 2 in. long. The Bale Edge extension kit consists of two tables that attach to each side of the bale accumulator's load bed. The two turned-up narrow tables from the original bale accumulator are simply detached from the load bed and reattached to the outer edges of the new tables. For transport or storage, the add-on tables fold up vertically. The original push bar on the bale accummulator simply pushes the extra bales over to the extension tables. To unload, the add-on wings tip up with the center table to dump all four bales at once. Spaniol says the expansion kit is designed so owners can install it themselves. It has been tested under a variety of conditions before going into production. Prices were being finalized as this issue went to press.
