Abstract
A mechanism for powering the formation of a tie-tier on a bale wagon is disclosed wherein the drive for pivotally moving the first table to convey a set of three bales onto the second table provides the driving power to kick the center bale back onto the first table. The movememt of the kicker mechanism to move the center bale back onto the first table effects a movement of a spiking mechanism to fix the exterior ends of the outer bales of the set conveyed onto the second table for rotation about vertically extending spikes and effects the movement of a two bale trip from a retracted position. A latching mechanism is provided to latch the kicking mechanism in a forward position so as to maintain the spiking mechanism and the two bale trip in operative positions during the formation of the tie-tier.
