ABSTRACT:
A bale handling apparatus for receiving, transporting, discharging, and feeding of large round bales of hay is provided. The apparatus includes an upwardly open semi-cylindrical cradle rotatably supported above a trailer frame on a scissor device attached to the trailer frame and an undercarriage slideably mounted on the trailer frame. A restraining bail is pivotally mounted to the top of the cradle for restraining the bale of hay as the cradle is rotated. A hitch mechanism is attached to the trailer for connecting the apparatus to a towing vehicle.
As the invention moves in a rearward or forward direction the undercarriage slides along the frame causing the scissor to open and close, and thereby raising or lowering the cradle into engagement or disengagement with the underlying surface, causing rotation of the cradle for receiving, transporting, and discharging the bale of hay.
