Abstract
The invention provides a simple, and hence relatively inexpensive, bale accumulator for use in small and medium farming operations and which will reduce much of the present laborious and time-consuming manual bale-handling. The bale accumulator comprises a load bed (6), a load table (20) pivotally mounted to one side of the load bed (6) and movable between a horizontal bale-receiving position transverse of the load bed and an upright bale-discharge position for depositing a row of bales on the load bed (6), and bale pick-up means (25) located forwardly of the load table (2) adjacent the pivotal mounting thereof for picking up bales from the ground and depositing the bales one after the other on the load table (20) for forming a row of bales thereon.
