Abstract
A lateral bale pick-up assembly comprising an elongated wheeled frame having a bale conveyor positioned thereon for receiving large round bales thereon and for conveying the same either rearwardly or forwardly. A bale pick-up cradle is mounted at one side of the wheeled frame and is pivotally movable from a substantially vertically extending position upwardly from one side of the wheeled frame to a position extending outwardly from the one side of the wheeled frame. The cradle includes spaced-apart inner and outer tines which are adapted to engage the underside of the bale and to lift the same upwardly onto the bale conveyor on the wheeled frame. The forward end of the inner tine has a rotatable member provided thereon which is adapted to engage the bale resting on the ground and to turn the same 90.degree. so that the bale will be received between the inner and outer tines with the ends of the bale being arranged in a fore and aft position.
