ABSTRACT:
A mobile bale collector having a frame, bale carrier, and a coupling for connecting the bale collector to a mobile bale collector to receive bales from the baler, and the carrier is coupled to the frame by a hinge. In operation, a first bale is received onto the bale collector and moved rearward until the bale contacts a blocking device at the rear end of the bale carder. The blocking device is locked in position during the collection stage. The hinge coupling the carder to the frame permits the carder to pivot downwardly, to a low position after the first bale has been received. The carder may then receive a second bale from the baler. The second bale is propelled along the top surface of the first bale, toward the rear of the carrier. As the second bale moves into position, aligned over the first bale, the second bale releases the blocking device, thereby allowing the stacked bales to unload from the rear of the carder onto the ground in a stacked orientation. Once the bales have been unloaded from the collector, the carder springs upwardly about its hinge, into its upper position, to begin the next loading cycle by receiving a first bale from the baler.
