ABSTRACT:
A bale carrier comprising a horizontally disposed U-shaped frame having an open rearward end and a forward end. The U-shaped frame includes first and second side frame members having a front frame member secured thereto and extending between the forward ends thereof. A rocker shaft is rotatably supported by the front frame member and has a hitch secured thereto which extends forwardly therefrom for connection to a prime mover. Rearwardly extending elongated members are secured to opposite ends of the rocker shaft so that longitudinal movement of the elongated members causes the rocker shaft to be rotated. Wheel supports are pivotally secured to the side frame members adjacent the rearward ends thereof and are pivotally connected to the rearward ends of the elongated members. A ground-engaging wheel is mounted on each of the wheel supports whereby pivotal movement of the wheel supports, relative to the side frame members, causes the U-shaped frame to be raised and lowered with respect to the ground. A power cylinder is connected to each of the wheel supports for pivotally moving the wheel supports relative to the side frame members. The device may be used for transporting hay bales or other objects such as livestock pens or the like.
