521R and 421R Round Bale Accumulators

The 521R and 421R Bale Accumulators provide round baler operators with the convenience of carrying multiple bales and grouping these bales right where the operator desires.  Whether baling in rolling hills or in a flat valley, the 521R and 421R Bale Accumulators from RCI can carry two bales while baling a third.  Drop one, two, or three bales anytime, anywhere.

521R / 421R Bale Accumulators provide many cost-saving benefits, including:

  • Reduce labor and operator fatigue
  • Decrease bale handling equipment hours and fuel usage
  • Less crop damage
