A manual transportation vehicle is provided for use in transporting baled material. The vehicle consists of a frame, which includes a ground-travel-transport mechanism and a handle portion, and plural elongate tines pivotally mounted on the frame. The tines may be selectively pivoted within a span bounded by an upper orientation, where the tines rest against the frame, and a lower orientation defined by an adjustable stop on the frame. A lever is operatively coupled to the frame for adjusting the radial orientation of the tines within the span bounded by the upper orientation and the lower orientation. In a variation of this embodiment, the frame includes a support structure for supporting baled material rearward of the ground-travel-transport mechanism.

[ I claim:] [1.] An improved manual transport vehicle for transporting baled material over a surface, the vehicle having a frame, a ground-travel-transport mechanism and a handle, the improvement comprising:plural elongate tines adapted to pierce and extend at least partially through baled material to be transported, wherein the tines are pivotally mounted on the frame about an axis extending generally parallel to the surface, and further wherein the tines are selectively pivotal within a span bounded by a lower orientation in which the tines extend generally forwardly from the frame, and an upper orientation in which the tines extend generally rearwardly from the frame.
