Round Bale Accumulator Saves Loading Time

Round Bale Accumulator Saves Loading Time BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 25-6-19 This new tow-behind round bale accumulator hitches to the baler and fills up with a load of round bales, then automatically unloads the bales out the back. It lets you group bales in threes, which reduces time spent retrieving bales from the field. The machine is equipped with a stationary deck that tilts backward and has a loading arm on front and an unloading gate on back. Both the loading arm and unloading gate operate off tractor hydraulics. As the baler's tailgate opens, the loading arm automatically drops down to the ground. The baler then ejects the bale onto the loading arm, which lifts it onto the deck. The bale rolls by gravity to the back of the machine. The procedure is repeated for the next two bales. To unload bales, the unloading gate is lowered to the ground and the bales roll off. The accumulator is designed to fit only Deere balers at the present time. However, the company says it's working on models to work with other brands. Sells for less than $6,000. A two-bale model is also available. It sells for less than $5,700.
