Denny that was awesome! All that work paid off and if you have to change a few things no biggie, youve got a great base to work with. Your body will thank you later in life and you will save a lot of time. Well done sir.
Thank you very much! It was a fair amount of work to build, and it's always a huge relief to see the fruits of your labor to not fail! I really appreciate it, thank you!
Denny this that you made is working out really good. I am very pleased for you young man. thanks for sharing your build and first use of a really nice tool.
Congrats hard work paid off! You should build a accumulator to drive around and stack them then pic the stacks up with that. I don't know what they cost but that sure beats picking them up by hand! Nice job
Yeah, I actually had some of the dividers bend on me. I was able to bend them back and finish the job, but I need to revisit some of the bracketry. Thanks for watching Kenny!
The weak spots I pointed out with the bracketry already failed. I need to beef it up with some 1/4" angle iron. No big deal though. Thanks a lot for watching man!
Lol! Yep, the idea of not breaking my back on a HOT summer day but still getting the bales on the trailer is incredible. I can't help but laugh a little. A trailer build would be fun.. possibly in the works.
Job well done there my friend. It's always awesome to see an idea work out like that. If I did more hay I'd consider getting one of those myself. For now tho, I just a little bit jealous of you. LOL Stay safe.
As long as you gut the buyer to pick it up out of the field (your wife), you don't have to touch a bale! Lol. If I was your neighbor, I'd come pick em up for ya.
Nice job on the build! Did you solve that grapple bounce issue? Im 2 years behind the video, but i was thinking if you would plum a ball, needle, or globe valve inline to your tractors tilt hydraulics, it would allow you to control the flow, speed and bounce. Trim the valve partially closed for grapple use (slower flow), and open the valve while using your loader bucket etc.
Oh boy, to be honest I'm not the best at drawing thing like this. Shoot me your email, and I could give you a description of the dimensions and thicknesses. I know it would take some of your time, but if you watch my build series I explain a lot of it. One day I need to sit down and make a cut list with all dimension, but that probably wont happen right away, as this is a very busy time of year. Thanks a lot for watching Walker!
Glad to see you had something on the back for counterweight. Looks good, works good, and you built it! Can't beat that.
Even with the bush hog on the back and loaded tires, it gets a little light in the rear. I need a bigger tractor! Lol
We will always "need a bigger tractor" no matter how big lol. She looks like she's working for you and that's all that matters.

Thank you very much brother! I appreciate you taking the time to see what I'm up to. I hope your beans are healthy and the weeds stay gone!
Glad to see the hay grapple working and now you can bale up all the hay you can and not have to load it all by hand lol .
Yep, it's a game changer!
Great secret weapon. Anything to make life better/easier. 👍
Thanks bud!
Congratulations on a project well built!
Thanks brother!
I have a flat 8 bale accumulator sat in the nettle patch ,if you were closer I'd give it to you . Great video.
That wold make life so much easier! I wish I was closer by. Thanks bud!
Congrats hard work paid off! You should build a accumulator to drive around and stack them then pic the stacks up with that. I don't know what they cost but that sure beats picking them up by hand! Nice job
Yep, I'm already thinking about that. It would definitely make this process easier. Thanks for watching man!
Seems to be working out good so far now you just need to get find turned. Keep up the great video's
Yeah, I actually had some of the dividers bend on me. I was able to bend them back and finish the job, but I need to revisit some of the bracketry. Thanks for watching Kenny!
Awesome! Necessity is the mother of Invention!
Thanks! Very true!
hell of a job on that grapple! you wanna see a master on the grapple check out North Texas hay
Thanks man! I'm just about to do a 1000 bale review on it. Yep, that guy is good! They have a really nice operation there.
Looks great! If it holds up, then keeping it light is probably a good thing. More iron may need a bigger tractor. I like it!
The weak spots I pointed out with the bracketry already failed. I need to beef it up with some 1/4" angle iron. No big deal though. Thanks a lot for watching man!
Haha, now you're just having too much fun! Now you'll have to build a deck over trailer to make it easy to load ;)
Lol! Yep, the idea of not breaking my back on a HOT summer day but still getting the bales on the trailer is incredible. I can't help but laugh a little. A trailer build would be fun.. possibly in the works.
Like the hay grapple accumulator and i saw you made it Denny's.
Thanks Leo!
well, I definitely have my project planned for this winter. Thanks
Awesome man! I hope you decide to do it, it's well worth the cost and time spent.
Good job love the videos
Thank you!
One word - AWESOME!
Thanks brother!
Right on dude!!! Sure beats hand picking!!!!
Sure the hell does!
glad to see it working so good.
You should link the build series for the grapple at the end of this video. Looks like it worked well!! Definitely a back saver. Nice job!
Thanks man! I don't know how to link it to be honest. I would love to!
Now that’s a back saver👍🏻
So far it's saved be from having to lift over 9k lbs, and we're just getting started. Thanks for watching man!
Looking good!
Thanks bud!
Looking good.
That's a great tool to have when you are a one man band.
For the most part I am the one man band, so it's almost laughable how easy this is. Thanks a lot for watching man!

If only that were true. LOL At least she helps out. That would be awfully neighborly of you & I appreciate it too.
hey awesome! That is so cool.
Thanks, I'm pretty thrilled!
Nice job on the build!

What size tractor are you using
That was a 50hp Kubota L series
I'm not sure my 35 HP would handle that then. Lift capacity is 1200 but that's alot of weight hanging out there
If you had an accumulator you would have a great time
Agreed! I'm going to keep my eye out for one, or start thinking about plans to build one.
What would you charge to make me a drawing with measurements and steel thickness.thanks tracy
Oh boy, to be honest I'm not the best at drawing thing like this. Shoot me your email, and I could give you a description of the dimensions and thicknesses.

Nice. A little more practice and ya be a pro.
I'm starting to get pretty good with it. Man has my life changed!
