Technical Examples
  1. A trailer for hauling cylindrical bales includes a carrier for the bales, wheels on the carrier, an elevation adjustment mechanism for raising and lowering the carrier, and a hitch for coupling to a towing vehicle. The carrier has two inwardly extending bottom flanges that are spaced apart and define an opening between them, and an open end through which the bales pass during loading and unloading. When moving the carrier into engagement with one of the bales resting on the ground, the bale stays generally still due to friction from the bale contacting the ground through the opening and the bottom flanges slide under the bale to load the bale onto the carrier. Additional aspects include an adapter for use with a towing vehicle having a three-point pintle hitch, insert containers that fit into the trailer, and a method of loading and unloading the bales.
