Loader-Mounted Bale Accumulator Doubles As Grapple BALE HANDLING “Our new Accumagrapple is a loader-mounted bale accumulator and grapple fork in one It lets you gather bales in the field load them onto a trailer or truck and unload them using the same piece of equipment ” says Larry Jordan national sales manager for Maxilator Hay Equipment Rockmart Ga The patent-pending Accumagrapple is designed to mount on front of any skid loader or tractor loader and handles 8 to 10 small square bales of hay at a time Bale size can vary from 36 to 42 in Made from rectangular tubing the unit is open on front and divided into 4 compartments To load bales the operator lines up with a bale as he drives forward Once all 4 compartments are full 2 more bales can be added to form a tie stack by bumping one end of each bale with the unit’s center divider which causes the bale to turn sideways The operator simply backs up to leave the stack laying in the field By removing the accumulator’s divider plates and bars it quickly converts to a grapple fork for off loading and stacking of bales The grapple can be used right handed or left handed depending on which side of the trailer you unload from “Using one piece of equipment to pick up load and unload hay just makes sense You spend less time and use less fuel and labor to get the job done ” says Jordan The Accumagrapple Elite has a manufacturer’s suggested list price of $5 700 Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Maxilator 17 Rice Rd Rockmart Ga 30153 ph 903 818-6427; ljordan@maxilator com; www maxilator com
