Each embodiment has spaced-apart rails adapted to lift and cradle round bales of hay, the spacing of the rails being variable for handling bales of different diameters, the rails being adapted to pick up bales in the manner of a fork lift. In the first embodiment, means is provided for towing the trailer either to the left or right of the towing vehicles as well as in line with the towing vehicle, and the trailer may be maneuvered for nonstop front or rear loading and unloading of bales.
