I"ve seen a few of these around Lubbock. I"m pretty sure there used to move rotary hoes and such down the highway.

I think maybe it would be for cotton bales or something fairly light. The wheels and hubs on there don't look near big enough for round hay bales. Dave

Why do you guys doubt me? I even have a video of one in operation. There was a company in Canada that made something called a Tube-A-Lator that put round bales in a long bag,like a silage bag before the wrappers came out. They made a bale mover just like that one too. In fact that might be one of theirs. They were a noisier thing than you would think. There were cables on it to brace it and they made quite a racket clanging around when they were moving.

Round bale transporter. 'Round here you back up to a bale & back it on, lift it up, back up to next, etc. Looks like this could have aswinging front, so you can drive by forward. Hold 3-5 bales typically.

I've seen those operate. It is what it says it is. A round bale mover.That tongue swings it to the side for loading. There are two pipes at the bottom that you can't see. You slide them under the bale,lift and go to the next bale. Drop it to the ground again with the second bale up against the one that's in it and pull ahead. Lift and go to the next and so on until its loaded. Get where you are going you lower it and pull ahead to unload all of them in a row.

It resembles but I don't think it is, a Disc or Rotary Hoe carrier which were mostly farm fabbed and this was before the introduction of Three Point Hitch Carriers or Wheeled Implements. I know I had one to haul my 10' IHC Disc around from Farm to Farm before I bought my first Disc on wheels which was an AC 12' Model. This one appears to straddle what ever it is used to Haul.

Well its called a bale wagon just above the picture, But, if I had seen orchards in the background I would have said it COULD have been a box mover for apples etc. It would have been an prototype compared to what is used to pick up and haul the fruit to warehouses today. When I was young it was all small box's and loaded by hand on a truck.

There used to be a lot of those "straddle-buggies" used around the Yakima Valley, WA. Anymore, it seems like the packing sheds use forklifts and flatbed trucks to haul bins of fruit. Soft fruits are still packed in small boxes.

I remember a straddle-buggy picking up bins of apples at my grandparents.

The bin mover was my first guess but lack of orchards put that one out. Where you located? You mention the Yakima Valley. I grew up down there & worked in many orchards & even run one of those bin pickers.

colekicker is correct on this. You cannot see the bottom part of the bale mover arm. It has a curve along the bottom to slip under the bale and help hold it when the sides are moved in to clamp the load in place. The tounge will pivot like a hydo swing swather so it is offset for loading. Used to see a few of them around here. They bend at the top and will not hold the bale in place.

I've seen equipment like that used in moving cotton bales.

I can't NAME IT but when I use to haul produce from Ca. I saw these used to transport machinery from field to field. They would just back over and pick it up.

I can't prove it but my guess is that it is used to move cotton modules. Is resembles carts they use to use around here to transport grain drills.

It's not big enough to move cotton modules. It would have to be about twice as big in all directions

Round bale cradle. You can put probably 3 round bales end to end down the middle of it. You pull it with a tractor, it will pivot over and lower, go around the bale then you raise it again and go to the next bale. You can then have the bales in groups at the edge of a field for easier loading onto trailers or to stack at the ends of the field in rows. I see if I see it in Lockwood when I am there tomorrow and take some more pics.

On the front of the box section, at the top, is a hydraulic ram, which looks like it may push the bar that goes from the front to the back downward. It looks as though it pivots at the front. I can't see the bottom of the implement, which may have had a solid deck. I am saying that it could possibly have been used to compress a crop, such as cotton. It would have had to have walls which could be removed. That's all I have.
