A round bale moving trailer is disclosed as including a mobile frame and a pair of bale support cradles carried by the frame. The cradles have the same bale support capacities and are consequently capable of supporting an equal number of similarly dimensioned bales. Each of the cradles is supported on the frame for swinging movement between a bale-carrying position and a bale-unloading position. A control mechanism is provided for synchronizing swinging movement of the cradles. The illustrated control mechanism includes a single hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly coupled between the cradles in such a manner that extension and retraction of the assembly causes equal and simultaneous shifting of the cradles. The assembly is connected to a diamond-shaped linkage assembly which limits the ends of the assembly to equal shifting in relatively opposite directions.
