An L-shaped platform ( 11 ) having a vertical bale gripping frame ( 12 ) and a horizontal bale support deck ( 13 ) is mounted on a transport vehicle for rotation through 90° from a transport position to a bale pick-up position. In the pick-up position, tines ( 17 ) on the gripping frame ( 12 ) engage the top of the bale (B) and hold the bale (B) with the support deck ( 13 ) in contact with an adjacent side surface. The platform ( 11 ) is rotated to return to the transport position with the bale (B) being supported by the support deck ( 13 ). The support deck ( 13 ) includes a cross conveyor ( 21 ) for discharging the bale (B) laterally for stock feeding.
