Tractor carrying bales
A bale lifter is a farm equipment used to transport hay or straw bales.[1] It is connected to a tractor via the three-point linkage.[2] They come in either double or single bale lifters and are usually fitted with a tipping device to tip the round bales on to their flat ends so that the bales do not deform when lying over the winter.
