Abstract
A bale loading, transporting and feeding apparatus of a type for handling large bales of hay. A two-wheeled trailer is provided with an elongated member having two or more shaft mechanisms rigidly attached thereto. The shaft mechanisms are perpendicularly disposed with respect to the elongated member and are non-parallel with respect to each other for facilitating the engaging of each bale while the previously engaged bale is lifted off of the ground. A feed rack is connected to the trailer and is selectively movable between a vertical loading and transporting position and a horizontal feeding position.
