ABSTRACT:
A bale rack is provided which has a base and first and second spaced bale cradles supported on the base for pivotal movement about longitudinally extending parallel axes. Each bale cradle includes at least one depending lock catch which presents an engagement surface extending in a direction transverse to the axes. The bale rack also includes a locking assembly for locking the bale cradles against pivotal movement. The locking assembly includes an elongated shaft extending in a direction parallel to the axes and a plurality of locking pins which are secured to the shaft and which extend in a direction parallel to the axes. The locking assembly further includes a linear actuator for translating the shaft axially to move the locking pins between a locked and an unlocked position.
