Q: What do you do if a bale is not tied properly?
A: Keep baling until the bale comes out the top, then clean the loose hay off of
the accumulator.
Q: Can the accumulator handle an high degree
slope without difficulties?
A: We have not had any problems.
Q: Can the accumulator handle a 80-85 lb. bale?
A: Yes, the 10 bale model can.
Q: Can the bales be laid flat instead on of edge?
A: Yes. We have models that accommodate putting the bales flat
Q: What do you do when you are
finished for the day and extra bales are still in the chute or the lanes of the
accumulator?
A: Just push the bales on up the chute, then manually trip the back gate
Q: Will we have to remove the
kicker to hook the accumulator?
A: Yes, the accumulator hooks up directly behind the bale chamber
Q: Will the accumulator fit my
baler?
A: The accumulator will fit any 14x18 baler
Q: After the
bales slide off, what closes the catch door on the accumulator?
A: A counterweight closes the back gate as soon as the last bales slide off of
the gate.
Q: How much
assembly is there if I come out to pick up?
A: It takes about 30 min to set it up after delivery.
Q: What hp tractor do you recommend
for your accumulators and grabber?
A: There is no extra horsepower required for the accumulator. The lift capacity
requirements for the grabber will vary according to the model.
Q: Will your grabber fit inside an 8
ft wide tractor trailer van without tearing it up?
A: Yes. We have a dock and use a grabber on the skid steer to drive into the
van. We put 5 bales on edge along one side with the skid steer and hand stack 1
flat along the other side.
Q: How close to the top of the van
will it load if mounted on a skid steer?
A: We put the top layer in by hand.
Q: What is the maximum dimension
bales your accumulators will handle?
A: The longest bale length we have tested is 40 inches. The grabber would need
modification beyond that.
Q: Why do you twist the bales 90
degrees into the accumulator - for drying in the stack?
A: Yes, studies have found that hay cures much better when stored on edge. Moisture moves up and has less resistance when the majority of
the stems are vertical.
Q: Can you put the grabber on
a standard front end loader?
A: Yes, we ship the grabber blank so you can put any adapter on that you need.
We do offer a universal skid steer mounting plate that we can weld on for you if
you wish.
Q: Is it possible to grab the
bales from the side too?
A: Yes you can with the 10 bale, but not the 15 bale because the 15 bale grabs
are not square.
