ABSTRACT:
A self-loading apparatus for picking up and moving a large bale of material, such as large, cylindrical shaped bales of hay having diameters up to about 3 or 4 feet and longitudinal lengths up to about 5 or 6 feet. The apparatus includes a main frame member supported on wheels mounted near the end of the main frame. A hitch frame has one end pivotally connected to the front end portion of the main frame, with the other end of the hitch frame adapted for attachment to a tow vehicle. The main frame is adapted to be tilted upwardly about the support wheels when braking means on the wheels are activated and the tow vehicle is backed up. A pair of load engaging and clamping swing arms are pivotally attached to the respective sides of the main frame. Means are provided with the main frame and hitch frame for pivotally moving the swing arms away from each other when the main frame is tilted upwardly and, conversely, for pivotally moving the swing arms toward each other when the main frame is lowered by moving the tow vehicle forward while braking means on the wheels of the main frame is activated.
