ABSTRACT:
Apparatus to transport cylindrical bales of material, such as hay, comprising a frame disposed on a tandem axle. A plurality of shafts are rotatably disposed between the side members of the frame, each of the shafts having a plurality of fork arms arranged in two separate planes disposed perpendicular to each other on the shaft to form a cradle. Hydraulic cylinders are operably connected to the shafts to rotate the shafts individually such that one set of fork arms are lying in a horizontal plane and the other set is lying in a vertical plane and rotation of the shaft moves the horizontal forks to a vertical plane and the vertical forks to the horizontal plane. The first set of fork arms pick up the round bale from the ground and move it to the second set of fork arms which sequentially moves the round bale to the front of the trailer. The bales are unloaded in a reverse direction.
