ABSTRACT:
A bale spike frame for lifting and carrying bales weighing 2,000 pounds or more. The frame members are tied together and reinforced at strategic locations by an integrating plate. The frame is a welded assembly made basically of tubular steel stock having a square cross section and also of some steel plate stock. It has elongated tubular top and bottom members joined to shorter length plate members at their ends to form a rectangular frame. A main bale spike mounting socket is provided in the top frame member and two tubular inserts are provided in the lower frame member for attaching bale stabilizing spikes. An intermediate frame member located directly below the socket extends perpendicularly between the top and bottom frame members and is butt welded thereto. Peripherally welded integrating plates extend from below the bottom end of the intermediate frame member over its front and rear faces and onto the top surface of the top frame member. These plates have socket apertures that are fitted around the main bale spike socket which is in turn peripherally welded to the surfaces of these plates. Structure for attaching the bale frame to a farm vehicle is provided at opposite ends of the frame.
