Maxilator Hay Grapple

Turn Hay Season into a One-Man Job. The Maxilator Accumagrapple is the ultimate labor-saving tool for small square bale producers. Designed to replace the need for a thrower wagon and a stacking crew, this unit allows a single operator to accumulate bales in the field, grapple them in groups of 10, and load them directly onto a trailer or into the barn.

How it Works:

1. Accumulate: Push the unit along the ground to automatically guide bales into a perfect 10-bale pack (4 on each side, 2 turned sideways in the front).
2. Grapple: Once the pack is full, engage the hydraulic hooks. 28 individual hooks bite into the hay, securing the load tight.
3. Load: Lift and stack the group of 10 directly onto your trailer or flatbed.
4. Convert: Need to unload? In less than 2 minutes, you can remove the guide plates (no tools required) to turn the unit into a dedicated hay grapple for unloading and stacking in the barn.

Key Features:

• Capacity: Handles 10 standard small square bales (14" x 18") at a time.
• Efficiency: Replaces 2–3 people on a hay wagon.
• Versatility: Works as both an accumulator (in the field) and a grapple (in the barn).
• Gentle Handling: "White Glove" handling preserves bale integrity and prevents broken strings.
• Universal Mount: Fits any machine with a Standard Skid Steer Quick Attach (SSQA).

Specifications & Requirements:

• Machine Requirement: Minimum 1,500 lb rated operating capacity (Perfect for our Wacker ST31 or your 60+ HP tractor).
• Hydraulics: Requires 1 standard auxiliary hydraulic outlet.
• Bale Size: Optimized for 39" long bales (works with 36"–42").
• Dimensions: 88" Wide x 97" Long.

⚠️ IMPORTANT USE NOTE: For Small Square Bales ONLY. This unit is a precision farm tool. It is strictly prohibited for use on brush, logs, rocks, or demolition debris. Use on anything other than hay/straw will cause structural damage and void the rental contract.
