How do you pick up your bales? What type of system do you use to pick up bales, accumulator, hay basket, bale wagon, or the old fashion way, sweat and muscle. I threw some name brand accumulators out there to use the 10 choices, although I know there are more. I know some folks, such as myself, are thinking about one soon. Thanks and hope everyone has had a great Labor Day weekend.

My vote went for "Other", since our stacker is home built and the bales are just a little too big to pick up by hand

I have a thrower behind my baler. Still have to unload them by hand though, but it saves a lot of labor not having to handle the hay twice.

picking up hay I have what they call a three bale accumulator for a 3x4 baler, it dumps two at a time. It works well because you can group the bales across the field more, or have the capacity to go to the end of the field and dump them. You travel across the field alot less.
