A baling system is disclosed. The baling system comprises: a baler (18) configured to execute a baling cycle to form a bale (34a, 34b) of crop material, the baler (18) including a gate (42) configured to move between a closed position and an open position; an accumulator (22) coupled to the baler (18) and having a receiving area configured to receive the bale (34a, 34b) from the baler (18) when the gate (42) is in the open position; an actuator (106) configured to direct the bale (34a, 34b) received from the baler (18) selectively toward a first accumulation area or a second accumulation area of the accumulator (22); and a hydraulic circuit (28) operatively coupled to the actuator (106) and configured to, in a first configuration, move the actuator (106) toward the first accumulation area and, in a second configuration, move the actuator (106) toward the second accumulation area; wherein a hydraulic valve (122) is moved during the baling cycle to alternate the hydraulic circuit (28) between the first configuration and the second configuration.
