Abstract: Hay handling apparatus, by use of which baled hay may be lifted and transported, stacked and unstacked, in a simple and dependable manner. The apparatus is adapted to be connected to a standard front end loader of a tractor, without requirement for additional hydraulic cylinders or controls other than those provided with the loader for operation of the apparatus. A frame body carries horizontally disposed elongated sharpened bars in the form of spikes adapted to pierce through bales of hay so that the hay may be lifted and transported, and includes means for imposing pressure against the bales of hay for withdrawal of the bars from the bales of hay. The apparatus is made in sizes so that stacked bales of hay may be handled, and is designed such that by its use baled hay may be stacked within an enclosed space, such as in a barn, completely to the ceiling thereof.
