ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for pressing vertical arrangements of units that are stored in an elongate container with a front, plural sides, and a cavity includes a mechanism coupled to the front and extending toward the rear of such container and including opposing arms. Each arm is located adjacent a corresponding, opposing side of such container, with the mechanism being actuable to move the arms toward each other a preselected distance as a way of pressing a first arrangement of subunits. The apparatus preferably includes a submechanism actuable with the arms to move inwardly toward the cavity a preselected distance as a way of pressing arrangements of subunits, i.e. loaded subunits, that have already been pressed by the mechanism. The apparatus may be formed as a combination tier and load pressor for use in an automatic bale wagon to press successive entering tiers of bales of hay that are received into an opening of a load bed associated with such bale wagon, and to press loaded tiers that are moved by successive entering tiers through the opening of the load bed and into a cavity defined by the load bed. Included with such a device is tier-pressor structure and load-pressor structure. The load-pressor structure is actuable to move with a preselected force against a first of such loaded tiers as a way of pressing such first loaded tier. There is also a method of stabilizing a tier of bales of hay.
