ABSTRACT:
The universal bale shuttle includes a fram having at least one pair of wheels adapted to rollably carry the frame across terrain. The frame is provided with means capable of raising or lowering the frame in relation to the terrain surface. The frame also includes means for connecting a tractor whereby the frame may be steerably moved behind and to either side of a towing tractor. Pivotally attached to the frame is at least one bale engagement surface adapted to be controllably rotated between a bale disengagement position and a bale engagement position. A bale may be moved about by first steering the shuttle to either side of the tractor and then placing the bale engagement surface in a disengaged position. The shuttle may then be towed to a position where it surrounds a bale to be moved. The frame is then lowered and the bale engagement surface is then placed in an engaged position. Once the bale has been engaged it is lifted from the terrain surface. In this position the bale may be moved to a new location whereupon the bale may be lowered and disengaged from the shuttle.
