  • Tractor accessory for moving round bales
    Patent number: 4911596
    Abstract: A tractor mounted accessory for handling round bales comprises an attachment frame adapted to receive a bar extending across the front of the tractor to support the accessory on the tractor. A pivoting frame is pivotally supported on the attachment frame and has a pair of round bale engaging forks extending forwardly therefrom. A hydraulic cylinder controls the pivotal relationship between the attachment frame and the pivoting frame and thereby controls the positioning of the forks relative to the tractor. The hydraulic cylinder is actuated by the hydraulic system of the tractor.
