ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for lifting round bales of hay including a pair of arms which project forwardly from the front end of a tractor. These arms support a pivotal structure which includes a spear for impaling a round bale of hay and thereafter tilting the bale up off the ground. Another embodiment includes a device similarly attached to the forward end of a tractor; however, the latter embodiment involves a spear which can be elevated with respect to the ground while remaining parallel to the ground. A third embodiment involves a bale lifting device which is similar to the second embodiment but which can be attached to a conventional 3-point hitch on a tractor or to the rear of a flatbed trailer. A still further embodiment includes a square frame supported from a tractor by means of a 3-point hitch connection. The square frame rotatably supports an elongated rectangular frame which has impaling spears at the opposite ends thereof. In operation, the farmer will drive the tractor to impale a first bale of hay on the spear at one end of the rectangular frame, thereafter he will lift and pivot the frame so that the spear at the opposite end will now be disposed to pick up a second bale. After picking up the second bale, the rectangular frame will be moved to a horizontal position with both bales being off the ground.
