ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for handling large round bales or the like includes a mobile frame adapted for movement across a field and a bed assembly mounted thereon. The bed assembly includes a plurality of elongated, laterally spaced rails capable of being disposed in an inclined position with respect to the frame in which forward ends of the rails are disposed adjacent the field. A first flexible endless conveyor chain is movably mounted on and along a forward portion of each rail extending from the forward end thereof rearwardly through a distance preferably approximately equal to the axial length of a round bale. The first conveyor chains are capable of delivering a bale from the field to the forward ends of the rails when the rails are disposed in the inclined position and of moving the bale along the forward portions of the rails. A second flexible endless conveyor chain is movably mounted on and along a rearward portion of each rail extending from the forward rail portion to a rear end of the rail. The second conveyor chains are capable of receiving a bale from the first conveyor chains and of moving the bale along the rearward portions of the rails. Further, there is provided means for driving the first and second conveyor chains. In the preferred embodiment of the apparatus, the first chains are continuously driven whenever the drive means is operating, while the second chains are driven only at selected times. In another embodiment of the apparatus, the first and second chains are driven independently.
