Description

CID Attachments Bale Accumulator Grapple For Skid Steers

The CID Attachments Bale Accumulator Grapple For Skid Steers is a specialty hay handling attachment designed to pick up and carry multiple small square bales in a single machine cycle, dramatically reducing the number of trips required to clear a field after baling. The accumulator function is achieved through a tine-and-clamp mechanism that allows the operator to collect several bales sequentially before transporting the entire group to a storage or loading location. This attachment is particularly productive during hay season on operations that produce high volumes of small square bales and need to clear fields quickly before rain or the next cutting.

Accumulator Mechanism

The grapple accumulator (model HAG10) uses a tine assembly that lifts bales from the ground and holds them in a carrier zone while additional bales are collected. Once the target number of bales is accumulated, the operator transports the full load to the storage or trailer location and releases all bales simultaneously. This accumulated-load approach reduces transport cycle counts proportionally to the number of bales carried per cycle, making it significantly more efficient than single-bale handling on large fields.

Multi-bale accumulation reduces field clearing transport cycles

Tine and clamp mechanism for sequential bale pickup

Heavy steel construction for commercial hay season duty cycles

Compatible with standard skid steer universal quick-attach plates

Increases productivity on small square bale operations

Productivity Impact

On a field producing a high volume of small square bales, the difference between single-bale handling and multi-bale accumulator handling can be substantial. Fewer transport cycles means the machine covers less total distance per bale moved, uses less fuel, and allows the operator to complete the field-clearing operation faster. This speed matters because small square bales are sensitive to rain damage and must be moved from the field promptly after baling to avoid weather losses.
