Small bale accumulator

[craigco]

Does anyone use bale accumulators for small bales? Are they handy or just awkward in smaller fields?

Depends on what you call a small field. To me a small field is around row crop edges and are narrow 1 acre or so strips with fences and trees involved. I have an old Farmhand that mounts rigid to back of baler and takes a lot of room to swing but even then I would sure miss it if I suddenly didn't have it. Also mine always wants to dump on a curve which messes up the stack of eight.

Local fellow has a Bandit small square bundler.

It's the cat's meow when working but is a continual source of trouble.

New Holland balewagon is the only way to go

I have one for sale that automatically stacks 6 bales in a pyrimid. Think its a Dakon. I would work well in a small field.

I have a Kuhn 10 bale and I like it. Don't know what I would do without it. It don't let you set the world on fire, but you can do small bales by yourself. I can do 500 to 600 after lunch and get them loaded and out of the field by myself. If the weather gives me a window, I will bale about 1000 and load them and move them out the next morning. If you have help to load while you bale you could get a lot more done. I am a one man operation. Also Kenny Kuhns has the best customer service of anyone.

I have a Kuhn Mfg. 15 bale. They are very simple and works very good! My wife baled 98% of our hay after we got accumulator, she had never baled hay before. 1500 bale days are no problem she bales &I load &unload. Small fields are no problem. As was said before Kuhn Mfg. customer service is A1. We have tie grabber we use in the field & just a grabber at the barn. We baled 13,000 bales this year. If you have more questions I would be glad help.

I bought a Kuhns 10 bale this year and would recommend it. Works good on hills.
