Abstract: A towed earth moving implement features a longitudinal pull tongue, a winged blade assembly with a transverse center blade and a pair of angled outer wing blades, and a wheeled frame on which the blade assembly is carried. A pivotal blade-pitch between the pull tongue and the blade assembly defines a transverse blade pitch axis about which the blade is adjustable in pitch-angle relative to the pull tongue. In a pitch-neutral position, working edges of the wing blades reside in a same horizontal working plane as a working edge of the center blade, for ground leveling purposes. In an upwardly pitched position, the working edges of the wing blades reside in forwardly inclined relation to the horizontal working plane, for ditching purposes. In a downwardly-pitched position, the working edges of the wing blades reside in forwardly declined relation to the horizontal reference plane, for crowning purposes.

Abstract: A towable vertical stacking bale accumulator features angle-adjustable roller beds on an obliquely oriented trailer frame whereby a rearwardly declining slope of the rollers gravitationally conveys individual bales from the baler to a stacking station at the rear of the trailer frame, where an automatically controlled gate provides a stop for retaining the bales until either a full stack is compiled or an error is detected. Spring loaded bale lifters feature concave undersides to encourage retraction of same as they are lowered down the sides of a newly arrived bale, and carry hanging bale guides that prevent the incoming bales from overshooting sides of the roller bed. Lift frames on which the bale lifters are carried are raised and lowered by hydraulically driven lift arms, and are further stabilized by engagement of lift frame followers with guide members of upright support structures provided on opposing sides of the roller bed.

Abstract: A bale accumulator is provided for use with a baler for producing rectangular bales of agricultural crops, the accumulator comprising a hitch for connecting the accumulator to the baler, a platform for receiving bales extruded by the baler, a positioning device for arranging the bales in a selected array on the platform, a pusher mounted for movement longitudinally of the platform, an actuator on the accumulator for moving the pusher rearwardly along the platform to move bales along the platform, a rear bale support rearwardly of the platform for supporting bales as they are moved off of the platform by the pusher, and a forward bale support extending forwardly from the pusher for supporting a bale in front of and above the pusher as it is extruded from the baler. The bale accumulator manipulates bales as desired while allowing uninterrupted operation and dumping at any desired location.
