A bale handling apparatus (12 or 14) having at least two cooperating flaps (46, 47), each flap defining a free longitudinal edge and an opposite edge longitudinally hinged about a support member (34), the flaps being pivotable between a closed position where each edge points the edge of the other flap and where the flaps can cooperate in lifting a bale engaged between the flaps upon elevating the support members, and an open position where the bale is substantially freed from the flaps to allow longi-tudinal disengagement of the flaps from the bale. The bale handling method includes at least the freeing of at least one bale which includes lowering two cooperating flaps in a closed position, the flaps sustaining a bale engaged therebetween, until the bale touches the ground; pivoting the cooperating flaps into an open position to substantially free the bale from the flaps; and longitudinally disengaging the pivoted flaps from the bale.
