DJL said: (quoted from post at 19:48:53 06/26/07) Does anybody have a small square bale hay accumulator? What types...the one that hooks to the baler or the type you pull with a truck/tractor after the bale is on the ground? What"s the good/bad/ugly? Thanks!

We've been shopping around for a while. If you want to see some in action you can go to http://www.steffensystems.com/ and they have movies of the accumulators in action and the bale handlers/grapples. We contacted a dealer in Texas and they said that the price for a 1050 accumulator and the 5510 bale grapple was around $18,000. Minimum HP required was around 63 or 65HP ... I don't remember exactly.

We tried to find a Steffens for sale used and we've only seen one or 2 posted over the last 2 years but they were long gone by the time we saw the ad. There doesn't seem to be anyone selling them used.

Do a search on Hoelscher and you might turn up something. That brand was mentioned in another forum somewhere and they said the accumulator was around 12k. I don't know if it was for big or small squares.
