Claim:
A bale moving apparatus comprising in combination: a hay bale selected from a plurality of hay bales wherein the plurality of hay bales have an average height; a tow frame providing an axle supported by a pair of opposing wheels; medially joined with, and extending from the axle, a tow strut providing: a medially placed rest bar extending upwardly therefrom, a winch, and a distal tow fixture; a bale support pivotal about a pivot axis, joined to, and extending upwardly from the axle, the bale support rotatable between an upright attitude and a tilted-back attitude engaged with the rest bar; extending from the bale support, a triangle formation of three bale impaling spikes positioned approximately parallel with a ground surface when the bale support is in the upright attitude; the pivot axis positioned at a height above the ground surface approximately equal to ⅓ of the average height of the hay bales and wherein the tow strut provides means for longitudinally positioning of the rest bar thereon, whereby, with the bale support in the tilted-back attitude, the center of gravity of the hay bale is positionable relative to the pivot axis.
