An improved method and apparatus for transporting a cotton module from the cotton field to a storage location. A conveyor apparatus is attached to the hitch of a tractor. The conveyor is operated by a hydraulic motor that is reversible such that the conveyor can be operated in both directions. To pick up a cotton module, the operator lowers the end of the conveyor close to the ground and backs under the cotton module while the conveyor is operated in a forward direction. Once the module is loaded onto the apparatus by the conveyor, the operator stops the conveyor and raises the conveyor for transportation to a desired location. To deposit the module, the operator lowers the apparatus to the ground and operates the conveyor in reverse while pulling the tractor forward at desirably the same speed as the conveyor.
