ABSTRACT:
A bale wagon has improved apparatus for repositioning selected bales on its second, tier-forming table so as to provide a generally even stack side on the bale loader side of the bale wagon. The apparatus includes a frame slidably mounted on the underside of the second table adjacent to the bale loader side thereof and a pair of bale-engaging cleats mounted on the frame and extending upwardly through elongated slots formed in the second table. The frame is slidable along a generally linear path which angles toward the forward right corner of the second table and is interconnected to a first, bale-receiving table of the bale wagon through a cable and pulley system. A spring biases the slidable frame to an outer position toward the loader side of the second table. When the first table pivots upwardly during delivery of bales to the second table, the cable pulls the frame to slidably move the same along its linear path to an inner position toward the longitudinal centerline of the second table which results in compression of the spring. Once the bales have been deposited on the second table and the first table begins its descent back to its lower position, the cable slackens allowing the spring to pull the slidable frame back to its outer position during which the cleats on the frame engage and move an overlying bale along the angled linear path toward the loader side of the second table and away from any other bales adjacent thereto.
