Square Bale Accumulator For 15 Bales on Edge
The original size developed by Norden, the E15 bale system for 15 bales on edge is popular with operators wanting to maximize the efficiency of their loaders. Three bales across the 8.5-foot wagon fill it completely and the loader doesn’t need to be as big as it does for the 18-bale system. We recommend this size for farms producing between 15,000 and 30,000 bales per year.
The E15 Accumulator System
- Bales arranged on edge, 5 bales wide/3 bales long
- Handles bales from 32” to 40” in length
- The bale group size is 75″ wide and 96′-120″ long
- 15-bale group offers a 33% time-saving advantage in comparison to a 10-bale group, with each grab from the AE15 containing 50% more bales, and with a 33% reduction in the number of packs
- Bale arrangement allows a 9’ x 20’ wagon to be completely filled
Twisted Chute
The twisted chute turns each bale onto its side, 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.
Guide Belting
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.
