Abstract
A bale manger which includes a bed and rear wall extending substantially normal to the bed. A front wall is opposed to and spaced from the rear wall. The front wall is pivotally connected about a pivot to an end portion of the bed and has a bend therein to permit a first portion of the front wall remote from the bed to lie in a plane parallel to and below the bed when the front wall is appropriately pivoted. A second portion of the front wall between the bed and the first portion of the front wall makes an obtuse angle with the first portion. The bed is elevated. A pair of side walls which are preferably secured to the bed make an enclosure with the bed, front wall and rear wall when the front wall is pivoted in a direction toward the rear wall. The front wall is pivoted by a structure which causes the front wall to rotate about the pivot toward the rear wall. A preferred such structure is a pulley secured to the rear wall and a cable securable to the front wall and rotatable by the pulley.
