The control cab and a steering controller are mounted to the primary frame for movement between a forward position at the frame front end and a rearward position outwardly along side the frame and adjacent the rearward frame end. A steering reverser is connected to the steering controller for reversing steering operation at the forward or rearward positions of the control cab. A lifting bed on the primary frame includes a top bale receiving surface moves between substantially horizontal and vertical positions. A bale pick-up on the lifting bed, includes a leg section and an outwardly projecting platform section. The bale pick-up moves between (a) a first position with the platform section adjacent the ground surface and parallel to the top bale receiving surface of the lifting bed, (b) a second position wherein the platform section is substantially perpendicular to the top bale receiving surface and disposed toward the rear end of the primary frame, and (c) a third position wherein the platform section is substantially perpendicular to the top bale receiving surface and disposed toward the front end of the primary frame from the second position. A bale squeezing frame is mounted to the lifting bed opposite to the bale pick-up and is movable toward the bale pick-up.
