Kuhns Mfg. Hay Accumulator
Are you looking for an easier way to make hay? More and more people are finding out what it is like to have a machine do their dirty work.
This hay accumulator differs from many others in that all you need to hook up is a hitch pin. It’s simple, no wires, cables or hydraulics to hook up. It was developed by a farmer for his operation and can be easily understood and used by anyone.
It works using excess energy from the baler plunger to push the bales to the top of the front chute. Then as gravity moves the bales downward, the last bale in each row swings a door top open the next row. This simple efficiency arranges the bales into a pack that can be easily picked up.
The accumulator’s simple design means greater reliability and the capacity for 12 bales per minute means that you’ll be able to beat the rain. Built from the ground up as a durable machine, it does well on both flat and hilly terrain. Proven to work with all kinds of hay, owners of this accumulator report a very high rate of satisfaction with the product.
