ABSTRACT:
A bale wagon adapted to pick up bales and form them into a composite stack and further adapted to unload individual bales from the formed stack in single bale fashion. The bale wagon basically comprises a load rack, a slightly forwardly inclined transfer table spaced forwardly of the load rack and moveable back and forth therebetween, and a vertically reciprocable receiving table interposed between the transfer table and load rack. During the loading mode of operation, the receiving table functions to transfer bales to the transfer table and after a complete tier has been formed thereon the transfer table moves rearwardly to a position adjacent the front end of the load rack where the tier is deposited. To unload, the transfer table is actuated rearwardly to the position adjacent the load rack, retrieves the end tier and moves back to its original position. The receiving table then operates through a series of cycles, retrieving a portion of the tier from the transfer table during each cycle while the complement of the tier is held by hooks which engage the lower layer of bales of the tier. At the end of each cycle of the receiving table, the retrieved bales are conveyed transversely from the bale wagon in single bale fashion.
