ABSTRACT:
A bale handling apparatus for use with a vehicle such as a farm tractor for lifting and conveying large bales of cut crop material such as hay or the like. The bale handling apparatus includes a vertically mounted frame supported by the tractor, a pair of gripping arms engagable with opposite sides of a bale and a support structure for pivotably mounting the gripping arms such that the arms engaging the bale can pivot toward and away from each other to clampingly engage the bale and can move vertically to lift the bale. The gripping arms each have a generally L-shaped configuration and have one end for engaging the bale and the other end including a gear sector attached thereto. The arms are each pivotably mounted to the support structure such that their respective gear sectors are received in intermeshing relationship and in such a manner that pivotal movement of one of the arms causes pivotal movement of the other.
