ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and improved trailer for unloading large cylindrical bales of hay. The trailer has a simple rectangular frame that holds hay bale carriers in place by a dual latch/keeper assembly mechanism. The dual latch/keeper assembly allows the cradle to tilt in either lateral direction to dump the hay bales on either side of the trailer. As a safety factor for the operator, the release for the latch/keeper assembly is on the opposite side from the side upon which the carrier dumps. The present invention may include a pedestal which holds a hay bale cradle over the wheels. The pedestal is removably mounted so that both the pedestal and the pedestal cradle can be removed thereby allowing the trailer to carry goods other than hay, such as irrigation pipe. The raised pedestal also allows for fenders over the wheels of the trailer. Fenders and lights are provided to ensure that the trailer is street worthy.
