Norden Mfg KN615 Tie-Grabber on Bobcat S250

The Norden Mfg Tie-Grabber places one strand of regular baler twine around a group or "grab" of hay bales. The Tie-Grabber works off of two hydraulic remotes. One remote runs the Squeeze Arm and the hooks, the other remote runs the Twine Arm and the knotter. We use a Rasspe knotter that is made in Germany and is known for its trouble free operation.
Norden Mfg was previously Kuhns Mfg but the company renamed itself in 2022 to reduce confusion with another farm equipment company.

Cool idea!

[@blairwise3339]

my three sons, that is exactly what I want to know and why they are stacking them that way.

[@glendonkuhns7]

the chute on that model of accumulator is twisted to set the bales on their edge. Hay curing in some regions seems to do better if the bales are on edge. You can see it in this video ua-cam.com/video/JO6KEnpRyy0/v-deo.html This video will give you an overview of the system ua-cam.com/video/tVKR2UNPlmw/v-deo.html

Flat side for loading truck, edge side for stacking in barn. The tie makes a more stable load if loading a truck on edge.

Очень хорошая вещь. Сколько он стоит?

haha.. I guess I feel like it'd be easier and cheaper to pull the trailer next to those bales and toss 'em on. I think it would have been quicker too. No skid steer wear, no fuel consumption, no extra compaction of the soil...

[@cleatrampler]

Who would rather wrestle with bales under the hot sun when you can sit in the Bobcat instead? The choice between a job no one wants versus a job everyone likes?

Jordan Babcock Not when you put up over 26,000 bales a year. Come on out I'll run circles around you and your whole dam crew by myself!
