摘要：An apparatus for loading bales of agricultural products into a protective sheath.The apparatus includes a mobile framework adaptable at one end for connection with avehicle. A detachable bale bagger is received at an end opposite the vehicle and supportsa corrugation of protective sheath. In an attached mode, the apparatus is adaptable toretrieve, transport, handle and sheath bales of agricultural products. A lifting unit isadapted to retrieve bales from a location and mount them in an end-to-end fashionalong parallel rails of the mobile framework. As bales are individually retrieved andloaded, a bale moving device movably connected to the mobile framework, rearwardlydisplaces the incoming bales a distance along parallel rails so as to make space for thenext bale. Once the mobile framework is loaded with bales, the apparatus is transportedto a location suitable for storage. Located at a storage site, a bale bagger is oriented in astationary engaging position for connection with the mobile framework and includes anopen- ended drum supporting a corrugation of protective sheath. The mobile framework,containing a plurality of bales, approaches the stationary bale bagger in a reverseorientation such that a first and a second attachment unit respectively located thereon,are aligned for connection. In the attached mode, the bale moving device is adapted tomove the plurality of bales rearwardly along the mobile framework and through the

open-ended drum of the bale bagger. Simultaneous with the rearward displacement ofthe bales, the vehicle pulls the apparatus forwardly such that the corrugation of

protective sheath can be extended a distance to receive the incoming bale as it is passedthrough the open- ended drum. The bale bagger is attachable to the mobile frameworksuch that it can be secured in an upright position and safely transported a distance whenthe framework is in operable connection with a vehicle.
