The apparatus comprising a frame, a chassis for movably supporting the frame over the ground, and a bale engaging assembly for releasably engaging a bale at the ends thereof and for loading the engaged bale onto the frame at one side of one end thereof. A transversely movable carriage can move such a bale to the other side of the frame to make room for a further bale on the one side. The frame is pivotably mounted to the chassis at the other end thereof and can be tilted with respect thereto so that bales which have been loaded onto one end of the frame can be displaced rearwardly so as to make room for loading of additional bales. In addition, the frame can be rotated by position of approximately 90.degree. with respect to the chassis so that a stack of bales can be made.
