ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a device for the lifting, loading, and transportation of large cylindrical hay bales that is well suited for the loading and unloading of the elevated surfaces commonly encountered in storing or shipping operations. The device is easily attached and removed from a standard tractor's three point hitch system and is wholly actuated by the hydraulic system and controls therein. An implement mounting plate is attached to the top hitch point. Two extension bars extend rearwardly and outwardly from the implement mounting plate to which they are pivotally connected. The upper extension bar is pivotally supported by uprights extending from the drawbar which is pivotally connected between the lower hitch points and through this arrangement lift is selectively imparted from the tractor hydraulic system to the loading device extension. The extension bars terminate at a pivotal connection to the spear mounting plate from which the spear protrudes. In operation, the tractor is backed up with the mounted device in a lowered position to impale a bale upon the spear. The tractor's hydraulic system is then used to raise the bale. The bar system of the device tilts the spear slightly upward as the extension is raised, securing the placement of the bale. The tractor then carries the bale to the desired location where it is lowered and the spear withdrawn.
