ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to form a hay bale stack which lies upon its side and upon the bed of a truck, trailer or similar vehicle. The bed will be tipped upwardly to discharge tha bale stack in an upright position.
A bale collecting, conveying and dispensing apparatus is mounted at the side of the vehicle. A shiftable stack-layer-forming platen is carried upon a framework above the bed of the vehicle and above a stack being formed on the bed. Hay bales picked up by the dispensing apparatus are shifted onto this platen to form a stack layer. When a stack layer is completed, the platen tips, dropping the layer on its edge at the forward end of the vehicle bed. A pusher means pushes the bale stack layers rearwardly as they are deposited upon the bed.
When a bale stack is completed, the bale collecting and dispensing apparatus may be disconnected from the vehicle, and the vehicle is then driven to a location where the stack is to be discharged. Once the bed is tipped upwardly to stand the bale stack upright, the tines of a holding fork, at the base of the stack and at the rear end of the vehicle bed, reciprocate to facilitate movement of the fork from underneath the upright stack as the vehicle moves away from the stack.
