Abstract
An improved gate for a bale accumulator which prevents bouncing of the latching mechanisms so that the gate passes by and is unlocked. Automatic bale accumulators accumulate bales of hay and release them when the accumulator is filled; and after all of the bales have passed out of the accumulator, the rear gate closes and is latched. The present invention assures positive latching such that the gate does not move the latching mechanism to a position so that the gate fails to latch.
