ABSTRACT:
A load carrier is provided including a trailer main frame defining front and rear end portions and provided with hitch structure at the front end portion. The rear end portion of the main frame includes opposite side support wheels and an upstanding lift frame is pivotally supported at its lower end from the rear end portion of the main frame for swinging about a horizontal transverse axis forward of the wheels between a first rearwardly and upwardly inclined position with an upper portion of the lift frame disposed rearward of the wheels and a second position with the upper end portion swung forwardly to a position forward of the axis of rotation of the wheels. A winch is carried by the main frame for pulling the lift frame upper portion forwardly toward second position thereof. The lift frame and main frame include coacting abutmentstructure defining a limit position of swinging movement of the lift frame from the first position to the second position and opposite sides of the upper portion of the lift frame include gripping structure for gripping a load disposed therebetween. The lift frame, when in the second position, is balanced to swing by gravity to the first position from the second position, even when a load is not supported from the gripping structure. Further, the lift frame includes a lower tine frame swingably supported therefrom for cradling the lower periphery of an associated load such as a round hay bale.
