This type of bale accumulator appeals to me. I'm just one person cutting and baling hay for my own livestock. I don't have bigger equipment with multiple hydraulic systems to gather, stack, and load small square bales onto my wagon... in my case, a 18' car trailer. This accumulator would mean less stopping and getting in and out of my truck at each group of bales while loading my trailer. I don't see the harm in dragging the bales that short distance unless there are wet areas in the field.

TIMOTHY I use to have the same concern as you. Not any more. I Have baled tens of thousands of bales over many years using this type of bale accumulator. (Not the same brand.) You are not dragging the bale on the ground. The bales are gliding /riding on the grass. The bales never touch the ground,they never get any dirt in or on them. The beauty of this system is its simple. No electrical switches,no hydraulics just mechanical arms and latches.

I would have to agree. Unless this is just grass it might be ok. I cut and baled a lot of straw squares and alfalfa too and to me this would just tear the twine and that side of the bale up. It just seems like a cheap version of an accumulator and the stack was too loose for my liking. Too me the tighter is the better.

@@nopet-cu6wm like you said it works great on grass, I pull a similar (albeit the original design) of this one for coastal hay and it does not damage the twine or pull leaf off the bale. If your in a stem heavy crop like straw or alfalfa then yea the stackers y’all use is a better route.

30 years ago I was the accumulator 🤣
