ABSTRACT:
A bale handling apparatus having a rigid mobile frame includes a spaced pair of longitudinal bale pickup and bale-carrying members extending substantially from front to rear of the frame forming a chute for picking-up, transporting and discharging a series of hay bales. A pulling tongue is pivotally attached to the frame at a position juxtaposed to a central portion of a frame cross member in a central portion of the frame. An arcuate rail is connected to the frame and extends over an arc angle having a bisector on the frame central longitudinal axis to an arc termini offset from axis, representative of corresponding offset positions of the frame in bale pick-up positions. A rail follower is attached to the tongue and is in moving engagement relative to the frame along the arc such that the frame is movable relative to a towing vehicle to either left-side towing or right-side towing, bale pick-up and bale-carrying positions.
