ABSTRACT:
A hay bale loader which may be attached to a hay stack mover or other hauling equipment for grasping and lifting big bales of hay, and for placing them on the hauling equipment. A boom which is attached to a frame and is movable between vertical and angular lateral positions, includes male and female portions slidably disposed relative to each other. An arm extends rearwardly from the boom, and a bale holding mechanism including pairs of opposing tines is suspended therefrom over the top of the hauling equipment. When the boom is lowered toward the ground, the tines of the bale holding mechanism are opened to surround the hay bale and then the tines are closed to grasp the bale. The boom is raised and adjusted to position the bale on the hauling equipment, after which the bale is released by opening the tines. The loader can also be used to individually unload the bales from the hauling equipment and to unload loose hay in small quantities for feeding.
