That was us too up until buying this accumulator. I would drive our little truck with our toddlers in the front with me whilst Phil would stack on the back. We used a bale chute with a conveyor which was attached to the truck to pick up the bales and ferry them onto the truck tray. The faster I drove the faster Phil had to stack.

What a difference. I remember the first one well. I was the guy who rode on the rack and stacked the bales.
ReplyDeleteThe accumulator on the back actually stacked the bales automatically, and then tipped them off when it was full with 15 bales.
DeleteYou have come a long way. A friend of ours tossed the bales into the ute. Back and forth, back and forth...
