ABSTRACT:
The apparatus of this invention is capable of handling large bales of hay weighing fifteen hundred pounds or more without requiring the use of hydraulic, electrical or any other special source of power. The apparatus includes a portable frame connectable to a tractor and a hay buck or fork unit carried on a lift frame assembly which is movably supported on the portable frame to provide for a movement of the fork unit between a lowered bale loading position and a bale transport position. The fork unit is movable by gravity from the transport position to the bale loading position therefor, wherein the bale is loaded by a rearward movement of the portable frame relative to such bale. As the bale approaches a fully carried position on the fork unit, a leverage means is automatically actuated to elevate the lift frame assembly to a transport position in response to a forward advance of the portable frame. When the fork unit reaches the transport position the lift frame assembly is automatically locked against movement to a bale loading position for the fork unit.
