Discover our advanced BIG bale stackers and loaders for Sale, AutoStack FSX and XP.
Growing most baled crop products is a tough, labor-intense job that comes with its own risks and challenges. Cutting and baling at the right time is key to the quality of the product, while proper collection and storage is crucial to maintain its properties and avoid damage.
A reliable bale stacker will save you hours of time as it moves bales out of the field fast and stores them away in a safe and efficient manner. It will also reduce the need to find labor as one single operator can carry out the entire process without a problem.
Both stacker models are built with top electronics and hydraulics, offering farmers very reliable machines that will operate in all sort of terrains and conditions
Recomended for contractors or big explotations that need to move large amounts of bales at large distances from the field
Damages less the terrain, since is specially designed for irrigated muddy and soft fields. It is ideal if unloading is done at the edge of the field

Arcusin offers two advanced bale stacker models:
AutoStack FSX: Designed for large-scale farming, it handles up to 120 bales per hour with a fully automatic cycle, ensuring safe and efficient single-operator use.
AutoStack XP: A lighter model ideal for irrigated, muddy, and soft fields, capable of collecting and stacking up to 100 large bales per hour with an automatic working cycle.
Both models are engineered to enhance efficiency and safety in bale handling operations.
The loading capacity varies depending on the model. For example, the AutoStack FSX can extend its platform from 6.3 m to 7.2 m, handling up to 16 standard bales of 90×120. This capacity is ideal for large-scale agricultural operations, optimizing efficiency and performance. Learn more about its capacity in AutoStack FSX.
We use a patented loading mouth that automatically activates the chains when detecting the bale, loading it in a single movement and preventing damage. This advanced technology is crucial for handling different sizes and types of bales without the risk of deterioration. Discover more about this technology in our AutoStack comparison.
Yes, they are designed for easy and intuitive operation. Although robust and suitable for intensive work in large farms, their operation does not require previous experience, thanks to their simple controls and automatic systems. Learn more about ease of use in AutoStack XP.
Regular maintenance is required, including inspection of hydraulic and mechanical components, lubrication, and necessary adjustments. Although they are large bale equipment with exceptional durability, proper care ensures optimal long-term performance. More details about maintenance on our products page.
The speed varies depending on the model and field conditions. For example, the AutoStack FSX can handle between 100 to 120 bales per hour, demonstrating high capacity and efficiency in bale stacking.
They are built to be extremely durable, using high-quality materials and a robust design to withstand the demands of bale agricultural machinery. Their durability is a key factor in their efficiency in bale handling. Details about their construction in our AutoStack comparison.
With extendable loading capacities and efficient stacking systems, these machines are essential for large-scale agricultural operations, allowing for the handling of large volumes of bales quickly and efficiently. More information about their application on our products page.
Safety is a priority in our designs. Features like independent hydraulic suspension and hydraulic or pneumatic brakes ensure stable and controlled operation, essential for safety in agricultural machinery. Details about safety in our AutoStack comparison.
A bale stacker is used to efficiently collect, transport, and stack hay or straw bales in fields or storage areas, reducing manual labor and increasing productivity.
A hay stacker is commonly referred to as a “bale stacker.” This machine is designed to lift, transport, and stack hay bales efficiently, reducing the manual labor required for handling large quantities of hay.
No, it’s not recommended to stack wet hay bales, as the moisture can lead to mold growth, spoilage, and even pose a fire hazard due to heat buildup from microbial activity. Always ensure hay is properly dried before stacking.
The best way to stack square bales outside is to place them on pallets or a raised surface to prevent ground moisture absorption. Stack in a pyramid shape to promote stability and allow for proper airflow, and cover the bales with a tarp to protect them from rain and sun exposure.
To stack hay bales in a pickup truck, start by placing the first layer flat on the truck bed, positioning the bales tightly together to prevent movement. Stack additional layers in alternating patterns, typically three high for stability, and secure the stack with straps to ensure safe transport.
Stacking hay bales on pallets is recommended, as it helps keep the bales off the ground, reducing moisture absorption and minimizing the risk of mold.
Yes, you can stack square bales on top of each other, but ensure they’re stacked evenly and securely to prevent shifting. It’s also recommended to place them on pallets or a dry surface to avoid moisture absorption from the ground.
Yes, you can stack hay on a tarp to help protect it from moisture and dirt. However, it’s recommended to use a breathable tarp and ensure proper ventilation to avoid mold and moisture buildup.
You can typically stack hay bales up to 4-6 layers high, depending on the type and weight of the bales. Ensure that the stack remains stable and does not exceed safe handling limits to avoid accidents.
To stack hay bales safely, ensure a stable base by stacking on flat, dry ground or pallets. Place heavier bales on the bottom layer and stack in a crisscross pattern for stability. Avoid stacking too high to prevent tipping, and always use equipment designed for handling hay bales.
One hundred standard small square hay bales (approximately 14 x 18 x 36 inches) typically require around 300-350 cubic feet of space when stacked efficiently. For round or large square bales, the space required will vary depending on the bale size.
The value of a hay stack varies based on factors like bale type, quality, and current market conditions. Generally, a hay stack’s worth can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on these variables.
The weight of a stack of hay depends on the type and size of the bales. Small square bales weigh around 40-60 lbs (18-27 kg) each, while large round bales can weigh between 600-1,500 lbs (270-680 kg) or more.
It’s recommended to let hay dry for at least 24-48 hours after baling before stacking to prevent mold growth and potential fire risks from trapped moisture.
