Abstract

A bale trailer for transporting round bales comprises an elongate frame having an end which is arranged to be coupled to a towing vehicle. The frame has a wheel assembly, a pair of elongate cradles, a conveying means for sliding a bale along each cradle and a bale loading arrangement on the trailer arranged to load bales onto the cradles. The cradles are parallel on the frame and are positioned side by side thereon arranged to receive at least one round bale on each cradle. The conveying means extends longitudinally on the frame. The bale loading arrangement has a first loading arm arranged to engage a bale for loading the bale onto a respective one of the cradles, a second loading arm arranged to engage a bale for loading the bale onto a respective second one of the cradles beside the bale loaded onto the opposite cradle by the first arm and a raising arm arranged to raise one of the bales on one of the cradles. The raising arm raises the bale such that a respective arm which loaded the raised bale can load a third bale onto the respective cradle next to the remaining bale on the opposite cradle. The raising arm lowers the raised bale onto the bales on the cradles such that the raised bale rests thereon providing the trailer with three rows of bales.
