Zusammenfassung:	An elongated finger-support member may be pivotally connected to the three-point hitch of a tractor or to the bed of a pickup truck. The support finger is T-shaped in cross section and tapers to a point and includes a rearwardly facing hook on the top convex surface which supports the baled hay along its axial center. A cross member is provided at the base of the finger for limiting penetration and supporting the baled hay when the finger is in a vertical position. When the support finger is carried on a truck a frame is bolted to the truck bed and includes a cage extending over the hydraulic power cylinder and the cage functions as a stop for limiting the pivotal movement of the finger and further protects the cylinder from the hay. The machine is positioned between the wheel wells of the truck such that the hay is sandwiched therebetween when being transported.
