Moving Round Bales to the Feed Lot

I've never seen anything like that around here or I would gladly lay out the 150 for it. I can't quite picture how that works. How does it load?

You back up the buggy to the bale. The two forks extend all the way underneath. You go to the front and turn the winch and the bale is lifted. Once it breaks over you pin it. Most of them have boat winches you crank and it is virtually effortless, if it is built correctly.

Mine is down at the farm. If I remember to take the digital camera I will get a pic of it. I'll probably pass 20 others on the way there. Those buggies are very common around here. There are two for sale I pass before I hit the highway.

The only time I ever use mine is if I have cattle here at the house on this 16 acres and I only want to drag one bale 20 miles from the farm. If I haul two or more, I use one of the trailers. I have tractor there, backhoe too, track loader is here and everything has detachable forks.

If you go to http://www.back40supply.com/b40misctr.htm and wait for "hay dolly" to load, you see pics of three that are just like mine.
