Abstract
A bale handling apparatus picks up a load of large round bales from the field, transports the load and then dumps the load at a storage area. The apparatus includes a transporter bed and has the ability to arrange and control the position of the bales on the bed after being picked up. The versatile apparatus is preferably self-propelled to function as both an on-road and agricultural field vehicle. A cross-conveyor moves bales transversely on the bed. The cross conveyor includes a linkage, a cross conveyor arm and an adjustment plate. A plurality of adjustment positioners are along an arc on the plate for permitting the conveyor arm to be adjusted so that various size bales are transversely conveyed from a variable first position to a consistent second position.
