Northstar Attachments Bale Accumulator SSL | Model NXE-SS | 10 Bale Capacity | 14" x 18" Bales | 10–15 GPM | For Skid Steers

DESCRIPTION

The NORTHSTAR BALE MAX NXE-SS is a versatile bale accumulator designed to streamline hay handling operations. Capable of accommodating standard 14" x 18" square bales with lengths ranging from 36" to 42", the BALE MAX replaces a small army of hay handlers. It efficiently gathers, accumulates, lifts, loads, packs, stacks, and unloads up to 10 square bales in a single operation. Equipped with guide plates and packing arms, the BALE MAX stacks 8 bales in four vertical columns and finishes the stack with two horizontal tie bales, ensuring stability. The guide plates and packing arms can be removed in minutes without tools, converting the BALE MAX into a versatile grapple. A machine-mounted kickstand allows for convenient storage in packing mode, while the packing arms can be adjusted to squeeze bales into tight stacks on flatbeds or in barns.
