F4 Bale
Accumulator System

The entry-level Norden Bale Accumulator system, the F4 system enables an efficient entry to small square bale handling. Often chosen by small acreage operators that need to be able to handle bales by themselves or with minimal help. We recommend this system to farmers that produce between 3,000 to 10,000 bales annually.

Square Bale Accumulator For 4 Bales Flat

  • Bales arranged flat with their string side down, 4 bales wide/1 bale long. The grabber then is used to pick up two groups.
  • Norden Mfg.’s smallest Accumulator model
  • Handles bales from 32” to 40” in length
  • 4-bale group is ideal for small farms producing 10,000 bales or less per year
  • If bales are 36” long, you are able to cross-stack them with the EGF8 Grabber
  • Bundle dimensions are 72” wide and 64″ to 80″ long when you pick up two drops.
  • A two-bale length allows for narrower wagons or for longer bales than models with a 3-bale length

Straight Chute

The straight chute allowed each bale to stay flat on its strings, 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

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.

Automatic Lift Gate

The last bale in the grab opens the back gate. As the accumulator unloads itself, springs and counterweights automatically return all the gates back to their starting position, ready for the next bale.

CORNERING GUIDE BELT

Sharp turns are no problem as the guide belt keeps bales properly aligned and moving up the chute.

High Strength frame

This quality steel frame ensures high strength and durability.

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.
