📘 Overview
The Top Dog 6-pack bale accumulator grapple grabs and lifts six square bales at a time, letting one operator collect, move and stack hay without a crew on the wagon. It measures 84" wide and 68" deep at 26" tall, weighs 600 lbs, and runs on impact-resistant UHMW bushings with 65-45-12 ductile iron hooks. Sides are removable so you can pick bales that are already stacked. The hose kit is a separate item — choose the 6′, 7′ or 8′ kit for a skid steer, or the 25′ kit if you are running it off a compact tractor’s rear auxiliary.
A square bale accumulator changes the labour model of small square baling more than almost any other attachment: as a hay accumulator it lets one operator do what previously needed a wagon crew. Buyers comparing a small square bale accumulator against a bale grapple should note the difference — a square bale grapple carries bales, while an accumulator collects and groups them for stacking. This bale handling attachment works as a bale accumulator for tractor loaders as well as on a skid steer.
⚙ Key Features of the Top Dog Attachments 6-Pack Bale Accumulator Grapple
- Hands-free bale collection — grabs and lifts a full group of square bales in one motion — one operator does what previously took a crew.
- Removable sides — sides come off so you can grab bales that are already stacked, not just loose in the field.
- 2 x 8 welded cross tube cylinder with ORB ports — welded cross tube construction with ORB porting resists the leak points that NPT fittings develop under vibration.
- 65-45-12 ductile iron hooks — ductile iron flexes rather than shattering under shock load when a bale drops into the hooks.
- Laser cut and formed frame — formed sections rather than welded plate — fewer welds in the load path.
- 3/8" 3000 psi hydraulic hoses — rated well above working pressure for the duty cycle haying imposes.
- Mounts to skid steers or tractors — quick connect mounting plate, so the same accumulator moves between machines through the season.
- Impact resistant UHMW bushings — UHMW absorbs the repeated shock of bales landing in the hooks better than steel-on-steel.
- Lifts 6 bales at a time — sized for smaller operations and tighter barns than the 10-pack.
🔑 Why Choose the 6-Pack Bale Accumulator Grapple?
- One person does the whole job — grabbing six bales at once removes the wagon crew from small square baling entirely.
- Picks from the stack, not just the field — removable sides mean the accumulator collects bales already stacked in the barn as well as loose in the paddock.
- Fits smaller barns and yards — at 68" deep the 6-pack turns and stacks in buildings where the 104"-deep 10-pack will not.
- Moves between machines — the quick connect plate lets the same accumulator run on the skid steer in the yard and the tractor in the field.

🔗 What Is a Bale Accumulator Used For?
- Collecting small square bales in the field
- Stacking bales in the barn or shed
- Loading bales onto trailers and wagons
- Moving stacked bales between storage locations
- Small to mid-size haying operations running one operator
Order the hose kit with the accumulator — the unit ships without hoses, and the correct length depends on whether you are running it from a skid steer or a tractor rear auxiliary.
🚜 Which Machines Fit the 6-Pack Bale Accumulator Grapple?
Available for two machine classes — the 6-Pack Bale Accumulator Grapple uses a single universal quick attach plate that serves both:
Skid steers and compact track loaders — fits machines with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) mount, including:
BobcatCaterpillarJohn DeereCaseNew HollandTakeuchiKubotaGehl
Compact tractor front-end loaders — fits tractor loaders fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the matching Top Dog adapter plate (Euro 90133219, Euro 2-piece 90133229, JD flat 9033199, JD offset 90133228).
Hydraulic requirement: An auxiliary hydraulic circuit is required on the host machine to operate the accumulator, and the hose kit is a separate item — select the length that reaches your machine’s hydraulic outlets.
Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration before ordering.
❓ 6-Pack Bale Accumulator Grapple Questions, Answered
Is a hose kit included with the bale accumulator?
No. The hose kit is a separate item on the Top Dog 6-pack bale accumulator. Select the 6′ (9055003-06), 7′ (9055003-07) or 8′ (9055003-08) accumulator hose kit for a skid steer, or the 25′ compact tractor hose kit (9055003-25) if you are running it from a tractor’s rear auxiliary outlet.
Which hose kit length do I need?
Kit length depends on the distance from your machine’s hydraulic outlets to the attachment. Skid steers with front-mounted auxiliary couplers usually take the 6′, 7′ or 8′ kit. A compact tractor running the accumulator from a rear auxiliary outlet needs the 25′ kit to reach the front loader.
How many bales does the 6-pack accumulator lift?
The Top Dog 6-pack bale accumulator grabs and lifts six square bales at a time.
Should I choose the 6-pack or the 10-pack accumulator?
The 6-pack (600 lbs, 68" deep) suits smaller operations and tighter barns. The 10-pack (998 lbs, 104" deep) lifts 8–10 bales but needs substantially more machine capacity and turning room. If your barn alleys or gateways are tight, the 6-pack is the practical choice regardless of acreage.
Can the accumulator pick up bales that are already stacked?
Yes. The sides on the Top Dog bale accumulator are removable, which lets the hooks reach bales in an existing stack rather than only loose bales in the field.
Will the bale accumulator work on a tractor?
Yes. The Top Dog 6-pack bale accumulator mounts to skid steers or tractors via a quick connect mounting plate. Tractors running it from a rear auxiliary outlet should order the 25′ compact tractor hose kit.
What are the hooks made from?
The hooks are 65-45-12 ductile iron, running on impact-resistant UHMW bushings, with a 2 x 8 welded cross tube cylinder using ORB ports.
