Bale accumulators

A Norden accumulator hooks behind a small square baler and uses gravity and a simple mechanical system, with no hydraulics or electronics, to set bales on the field in groups. Edge models stand the bales on edge; flat models keep them on their strings.

Bale grabbers

A standard Norden Grabber mounts on a loader or skid steer and holds each bale with two hooks to lift a whole group onto a wagon, trailer or stack. Specialty grabbers handle New Holland stackwagon layers and other bale patterns.

Tie-Grabbers and bale squeezes

The patented Tie-Grabber wraps one strand of twine around each group it picks up, which the maker says keeps bales secure and steady in transport and storage. A Bale Squeeze then moves several tied layers at once, up to 4,000 lbs.

Loader and skid steer attachments

Norden builds bale spears, pallet forks, buckets, graders and a brush grapple for skid steers and for Euro or Global Carrier tractor loaders. The spears come from SHW in Germany and the forks from Cascade in the USA.

Wheel rakes and tedders

Norden wheel rakes come with 8, 10 or 12 wheels and let you set width, rake arm angle and ground pressure without tools. The maker says the light ground pressure keeps dirt and ash out of the windrow. The AlfaTed reel tedder fluffs alfalfa gently with six bars of rubber teeth.

Norden history: from Kuhns Mfg to Norden

Kenny Kuhns grew up stacking hay bales on an Illinois dairy farm. In the summer of 2002 he and a local fabricator designed a bale accumulator that was fully automatic and mechanical. He wanted something simpler than the hydraulic and electronic accumulators already on the market.

He named the company Kuhns Mfg in 2005, with the office at one end of the kitchen table and accumulators built in the farm shed. By 2022 it had 75 employees and sold hay equipment on five continents. To avoid confusion with Kuhn, it took the name Norden Mfg in February 2022, with the same owner, people and products. Norden means north in German.

  1. 2002Kenny Kuhns and a local fabricator design a fully mechanical bale accumulator.
  2. 2005Kuhns Mfg is named; accumulators are assembled in the farm shed.
  3. 2017The company starts fabricating its own products.
  4. 2022Kuhns Mfg is renamed Norden Mfg in February, under the same ownership.

One-year limited warranty

Norden Mfg. LLC warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase.

Warranty terms

“Norden Mfg. LLC warrants products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase.”

Norden’s sole obligation is repair or replacement, at its discretion, of defective goods returned to its facility.

The warranty does not cover misuse, abuse, improper installation, normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance or unauthorized modifications.

Equipment can be registered at nordenmfg.com/warranty-registration.

Family-owned, built in Ohio

Norden Mfg is based in North Bloomfield, Ohio, and has fabricated its own products since 2017.

Where Norden builds

Kenny Kuhns, the founder, still owns the company.

The shop runs a fiber laser, press brakes, a CNC lathe, a robotic welding cell and a 12-foot batch powder coating line.

The BS84 Box Scraper is USA-made with USA steel, and the bucket cutting edges are made in the USA.

Patented Tie-Grabber

The Tie-Grabber is covered by U.S. Patent No. 8,375,685.

Patent details

The Tie-Grabber places and ties a single strand of twine around the outside of each bale group.

Norden says tied groups stay secure and steady in transport and storage.
