ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improved bale handling and wrapping apparatus adapted to be fitted on the front-end loader or three-point hitch of a power source. The round bale handler of the present invention is capable of handling, stacking, transporting, wrapping and dispensing bales of hay. A spindle probe adapted to engage the bale of hay is mounted for lateral movement on a transverse frame. The frame extends outwardly to one side of the power source beyond the line of travel. A removable wrapping arm is fitted on the frame. The spindle probe can be moved laterally across the frame to accommodate bales of varying diameters, such that the wrapping arm is positioned adjacent the outer most portion of the bale. Thereafter the spindle is rotated and the wrapping material applied to the bale. Furthermore, when a bale of hay requires to be dispensed into a hay bunk, the spindle probe is moved laterally to the remote side of the extended frame and rotated in a counter-clockwise direction while the vehicle is driven alongside of the bunk thereby depositing hay beside the vehicle as the machine moves forwardly.
