ABSTRACT:
To enable the operator to form stacks having improved characteristics, a commercially available stack loading machine is modified. Firstly, to enable the stack to be deposited on the ground with all bales flat (i.e. with their 24 .times. 48 inch sides horizontal), the bales are deposited by the baler flat instead of on edge (i.e. on their 18 .times. 48 inch sides). The loader is widened to accept the bales and deposits the bales on the first (forward) table on edge and extending transverse. Transfer from the first to the second table tilts the bales flat and the second table tilts the bales on edge after transfer to the load rack. Thus, the bales are deposited on the ground flat. Rearward movement of the bales on the second table may be performed by a transversely extending, longitudinally reciprocating ram-actuated bar which slides on the second table and has rake-like teeth to pull the bales rearward. This feature permits movement of the first four bales of an eight-bale tie tier to the rear of the second table to provide room at the front of the second table for the proper assembly of the last four bales of a tie tier. Alternatively, belts or chains may be mounted on the second table to move the first four bales rearward. As a further modification, an intermediate tilting table is located between the first and second tables and the loader is mounted on the machine to move between two positions so that it may deposit bales on edge on either the first or intermediate table at the option of the operator and thereby deposit the bales on the second table on edge or flat, respectively, and ultimately deposit the bales in the stack either flat or on edge, respectively.
