This unit attaches directly to the baler at two points; the baler`s wagon hitch and a stabilizer hitch. These two hitch points keep the accumulator aligned with the bale chamber at all times. This allows the baler/accumu-lator combination to be backed up as a unit. Towed behind the baler, the accumulator is powered by the tractor`s hydraulic system. As the baler pushes the bales onto the accumulator, a pivoting arm automatically lifts two bales at a time and puts them on the bed, while turning them a quarter turn. By turning the bales on edge, hay spoilage and mold is reduced, and the bales will keep their shape better. When fully loaded with ten bales the bed  automatically dumps, and the bales slide off the back in a tight uniform package. There`s no need to stop or slow down, the unit does it all. The high dump angle assures that all the bales will slide off evenly, regardless of travel speed. These packages of bales are now ready to be picked up with a fork.

Accumulated bales are quickly picked up with one of these forks mounted to your loader. These models are also ideal for all-around loading and stacking. Bales can be loaded on your own hay trailers, trucks, or semi-trailers. The 100 series is for 14` x 18` bales, and the 200 series is for 16` x 18` bales. Each series has two lengths available to match your bale size. Bales may be picked up, moved, and stacked as high as your loader will raise, anywhere your tractor will go, and retrieved just as easily. When stacked, the bales will be tighter together and more weather resistant than if stacked by hand.

These models are for those who have automatic bale wagons. With the proper size fork, a complete layer of 12, 15, or 18 bales can be picked up from a stack which was built with a three-bale wide stack wagon. This allows bales to be stacked in areas which are inaccessible to the wagon and also to be stacked higher than otherwise possible. Even tie-tiers may be moved with ease.

Using hydraulic muscle for bale handling is not limited to large machinery. Now you can do a big job with a little loader. This model helps dairy farms, horse ranches, landscapers, or construction crews with their hay or straw handling chores. The model 50 will handle five bales, which is half of the Model 1000 accumulator`s package. If you want to automate your hay handling, but don`t have a large loader, or need the maneuverability of a skid-loader, this is your answer.
