Abstract
A bale wagon has improved means for facilitating tier pattern selection and formation on a table of the wagon. A plurality of paddles are mounted on the table for sensing bale presence at any of a plurality of locations thereon and, upon sensing a bale, actuating some of a plurality of operable means associated with the table for arranging bales into a plurality of tier patterns on the table. A cam acts upon a plurality of links, being associated therewith and coupled with respective paddles, for selecting which of the paddles will actuate the operable means and in such manner thereby selects which of the tier patterns will be formed. The cam may be moved between different positions for selecting different ones of the paddles.
