Abstract:
Apparatus for lifting heavy objects by means of a hydraulically actuated, hinged “A” frame, supported from a tractor by means of the 3-point hitch connection. The “A” frame attaches directly to the 3-point hitch and supports a second hinged frame which is hydraulically actuated to provide lifting capability. This lifting apparatus can accommodate a multitude of lifting attachments i.e. a spear for moving large round bales of hay, pallet forks for sliding under a particular object, a bucket, grapple, etc. In operation, the operator will back the tractor to the object to be moved, secure the object by any of the means described above (spear, forks, bucket, grapple, etc.), lift the object for transport and/or lift to any height and configuration desired and discharge the load.
