ABSTRACT:
Bale carrier apparatus for rapidly and easily handling and transporting large cylindrical hay bales. The bale carrier has a main support frame including a pair of spaced apart longitudinal support arms and hitch means connected to one end of the main support frame for detachably connecting the support frame to a towing vehicle. Means are provided to selectively raise or lower the support arms in relation to the ground surface between a lowered position wherein the support arms are positioned at a height below the axial height of a bale to be loaded and spaced apart by a distance less than the diameter of the bale, and a raised position wherein the support arms supportively engage the bale so as to lift the bale above the ground to a load carrying position. In operation, the support frame is positioned adjacent the bale to be loaded so that the axis of the bale projects between the support arms. The support arms are placed in their lowered position so that the support frames may be moved so as to position the bale between the support arms. The support arms are thereupon moved to their raised position so as to supportively engage the bale and raise it to a load carrying position.
