Making hay when the sun shines... - part 4 - loading the rectangular bales

The accumulator places 10 rectangular bales of hay on the ground in a 2x5 grouping.
A "grappler" (the manufacturer calls it a "fork") then can pick up this 2x5 grouping, or subsets by 2s, to load onto the trailer or truck.

Picking them up
This is a fascinating machine, but you can't really get it with still pictures, so here are some videos:
