ABSTRACT:
A bale carrier having first and second rows of bale cradles pivotally mounted thereon and which are moveable between bale supporting positions and bale dumping positions. A plurality of first safety latches are mounted on the carrier adjacent one of the rows of bale cradles. A plurality of second safety latches are mounted on the carrier adjacent the second row of bale cradles. A plurality of third and fourth safety latches are mounted on the carrier adjacent the first and second rows of bale cradles. The first safety latches are operatively interconnected so that all of the first safety latches may be simultaneously moved together between latched and unlatched positions. The second safety latches are also operatively interconnected so that all of the second safety latches may be simultaneously moved together between their latched and unlatched positions. In order to dump a hay bale from one of the cradles on the first row, the first safety latches are moved to their unlatched position and the appropriate third latch is moved to its unlatched position so that that particular bale cradle may be moved to its dumping position. When it is desired to dump a bale from the second row, the second safety latches are moved to their unlatched positions with the appropriate fourth safety latch being moved to its unlatched position so that the hay bale on that particular bale cradle may be dumped therefrom.
