Square Bale Accumulator System For 10 Bales FLat
The Bale Accumulator System for the F10 bale group is the most popular for farmers wanting to use existing wagons and trailers. The width of the group fits nicely on an eight-foot wagon and with the cross-tie bales the load is relatively secure. It is also a nice fit for many loaders and skid steers already operating on the farm. We recommend this system for farms producing 10,000 to 20,000 bales annually.
The F10 Accumulator System
- Most popular bale accumulator sold by Norden Mfg.
- 10 bales arranged flat with their string side down, 4 bales wide/2 bales long and two bales turned sideways to the rest of the group for a tie row.
- Handles bales from 32” to 38” in length
- 10-bale group is well-suited for small farms, compatible with a smaller loader because its lighter weight is under the maximum weight requirement of a grabber
- Bundles fill a 7.5’ wagon from one side to the other, and the tie row allows for cross-stacking with the KN510F Tie-Grabber or the 510F Grabber, making loads more stable on wagons and in trucks
- The bale group dimensions are 72”- 76” wide by 82”- 94” long
Straight Chute
The straight chute allowed each bale to stay flat on its strings, while the baler provides the force needed to push the bales to the top of the chute.
Stainless Steel Deck
The stainless steel deck provides a better surface for the bales to slide in higher dirt and moisture conditions.
Gravity Driven Gates and Final Bale Lever
As gravity moves the bales downward, the last bale in each row swings a gate to open the next row. The last bale in the grab opens the back gate.
Automatic Lift Gate
The last bale in the grab opens the back gate. As the accumulator unloads itself, springs automatically return all the gates back to their starting position, and the rear gate snaps back shut, ready for the next bale.
CORNERING GUIDE BELT
Sharp turns are no problem as the guide belt keeps bales properly aligned and moving up the chute.

Steel Tube frame
This quality steel frame ensures high strength and durability.
Cast steel bale hooks
Once the group is tight, a single hydraulic cylinder rotates all the hooks simultaneously into the top of the bales to pick up the group. These durable hooks allow for 2 hooks per bale to ensure the bundle is secure while transporting bundles.
Adjustable Crowd Bar
The Standard Grabber features an adjustable crowd bar that is mounted on the side of the grabber. When approaching a group of bales, the adjustable crowd bar works in combination with the back frame to crowd the bale group together.
