Abstract
A bale retainer finger structure located on a bale wagon along a first table thereof has a pointed tip which will embed into a bale and restrain it from being dislocated toward a bale-receiving end of the first table during the transfer of the bale to a second table on the bale wagon. The finger structure also is mounted for pivotal movement relative to the transfer path of the bale such that its tip completely withdraws from the bale before the bale is completely delivered to the second table but only after the bale has made firm contact with the surface of the second table.
