Abstract: A bale mover comprises a set of tines which plugs into a hitch. The hitch is supported by a bracket assembly including telescoping tubes which are disposed in the interior of a bucket. The hitch comprises sockets which receive the stub ends of the tines of the mover, and the hitch is fastened to the top of a bucket by means of mounting straps. A safety bar located above the plane of the tines prevents a bale which is being carried by the tines from rolling backward onto an operator. Also disclosed is a rear mounted bale mover. The mover attaches to the rear lift arms of a tractor by means of a generally L-shaped mounting frame. Embodiments of bale movers including two tines or three tines are disclosed. Also disclosed is an embodiment wherein the tines are provided with elongated mounting stubs. These stubs enable the bale mover to be mounted on a bucket where the side walls of the bucket are cut back.
