An ATV Can Pull This "No Power" Accumulator
You can pull this lightweight small square bale accumulator behind an ATV, pickup, or small tractor. When used with a loader-mounted grapple fork, it'll greatly reduce the labor needed to bring in bales, says Jeff Oetting, Jonesburg, Mo., a dealer for the new "Hay Tech" equipment.
The 8-bale unit converts from offset side tow to direct-behind transport position in less than a minute. It's covered by three new patents.
"There are no hydraulics, microswitches, chains or pulleys to cause down time," says Hay Tech owner Steve Crutchfield. "The simple working mechanism makes this accumulator virtually foolproof. It requires no timing, adjusting, or maintenance and is the heaviest-duty ground-driven accumulator on the market."
Oetting says he originally bought one for himself and liked it so much, he became a dealer.
"If the ground is soft in the spring of the year, you're not going to do nearly as much damage pulling this rig behind an ATV," he points out.
The last bale that enters the unit trips open the gate at the back, leaving the 8-pack of bales behind in the field. A spring-loaded latch on the gate causes it to re-close.
"It's simple and trouble-free. There's not much to go wrong," Oetting says.
Hay Tech also manufactures an 8-bale grapple fork which fits virtually all loaders 40 hp and above, including skid steers.
Crutchfield points out that this hay handling system "allows one man to bale and load square bale hay without additional labor."
Both Oetting and the factory offer a free video that demonstrates the unit working in the various modes of transportation.
Whether it's purchased from Oetting or directly from Hay Tech, the current price for the accumulator is $5,995 plus freight. The bale grapple sells for $2,000 plus freight.
If you are not within 25 mi. of one of their dealers, Hay Tech will sell factory direct and the unit will be delivered by a factory technician.
