ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for handling bales having the capability to engage, lift, transport and feed bales of hay. A frame is adapted to be connected to a three-point hitch of a tractor. Pivotally connected to the frame along an axis substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the tractor is a first substantially L-shaped member. A first bale arm is pivotally attached to the first member and has a rotatable hub attached at the lower end thereof for engaging one end of a bale. A second bale arm is pivotally attached to the first bale arm and has a hub rotatably attached to the lower end thereof for engaging the other end of a bale. A mechanism for pivoting the second bale arm with respect to the first bale arm allows a bale to be engaged by the hubs without the need for the operator of the apparatus to dismount from the tractor. A rotatable member is disposed on the lower end of the first member and has a mechanism for selectively causing rotation thereof. Additionally, a mechanism for pivoting the first member also causes the rotatable member to engage and rotate a bale disposed on the hubs. Further pivoting of the first member allows movement of the first and second bale arms between a vertical position directly behind the tractor to a substantially horizontal position, whereby bale can be moved between a position directly behind the tractor to position behind and to one side of the tractor, with the longitudinal axis of the bale being substantially aligned with the direction of movement of the tractor at all times.
