ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A tiltable frame is mounted on wheels and connects to a tractor or truck by means of a hitch pole assembly pi- voted to the frame just rearwardly of the front end of the frame. A pair of substantially semi-cylindrical troughs are situated on the frame one adjacent each longitudinal side thereof, to receive round bales lengthwise thereon. A pick- up is pivoted to one side of the frame near the front end and is movable from a bale pick-up position to a bale transfer position by means of a fluid operator. As the pick-up moves with a bale through approximately 90° to the transfer posi- tion, the bale rolls from the pick-up to one of the troughs. If there is no bale on the far side trough adjacent the pick-up, the bale rolls across the first trough to the second trough and is restricted from further movement by a restraining bar on the side of the frame adjacent the second trough. When two bales are positioned side by side, one in each trough, trans- versely of the pick-up, a push bar assembly moves them rear- wardly along the troughs, a distance sufficient to permit loading two more bales. When unloading, the frame tilts rear- wardly and the push bar pushes the bales rearwardly from the rear end of the troughs. The tractor or truck can be in neu- tral so that it is moved forwardly as the bales are ejected from troughs onto the ground. The tilting of the frame faci- litates the sliding movement of the bales during the unloading action and prevents them from tipping upwardly onto the ends as they strike the ground.
