Abstract
An improved bale wagon is disclosed which employs novel apparatus for maintaining the positional integrity of bales in a tier during the transfer thereof from a bale-accumulating table to a load bed. A pair of stationary open frame structures extend from the main frame adjacent the bale-accumulating table upwardly and rearwardly to the respective sideboards on each side of the load bed to provide a retaining wall adjacent the path of travel of the opposing sides of the bale-accumulating table. The retaining structures prevent the outward dislocation of bales during the transfer step, even in steep hillside conditions and thus promote increased operation efficiency.
