The Big Round Bale Flipper lifts the bales from the ground and loads them onto a cradle trailer that's pulled by a gooseneck-hitch-equipped pick-up truck (rather than a tractor). Attaching to the side of the trailer, the implement deposits a bale into each cradle. When the trailer is filled, the flipper detaches. An optional remote control system allows the operator to kill the Bale Flipper's engine then restart it. The drive-by attachment process allows the driver to re-hook the trailer to the Flipper, without leaving the pickup cab. When going to the field, the implement tows behind the trailer, making hay-loading a one-trip effort. (Also see the Hawkins Bale Flipper Cradle Trailer.)
