Abstract
A manual transportation vehicle is provided for use in transporting baled material. The vehicle consists of a frame, which includes a ground-travel-transport mechanism and a handle portion, and plural elongate tines pivotally mounted on the frame. The tines may be selectively pivoted within a span bounded by an upper orientation, where the tines rest against the frame, and a lower orientation defined by an adjustable stop on the frame. A lever is operatively coupled to the frame for adjusting the radial orientation of the tines within the span bounded by the upper orientation and the lower orientation. In a variation of this embodiment, the frame includes a support structure for supporting baled material rearward of the ground-travel-transport mechanism.
