Bale pickup device for picking up of round bales of a round baler

A bale pickup device (2) for picking up of at least one round bale from a round baler (4), comprising:

• a coupling device (6) with at least one coupling frame element (8) to be fixedly arranged on a machine frame (10) of the round baler (4);
• at least one drawbar element (14) extending in a pickup direction (AR) at least partially between the coupling frame element (8) and a machine frame (12) of the bale pickup device (2) and mounted in such a way on the coupling device (6) that the drawbar element (14) is pivotably movable relative to the coupling frame element (8) at least about a vertical axis (VA) perpendicular to a contact surface (AF) of the bale pickup device (2) at least in a first position of the coupling device (6);
• a transfer element (16) mounted to the coupling device (6) and extending therefrom in a pickup direction (AR), the transfer element pivotably movable relative to the drawbar element (14) at least about the vertical axis (VA) and wherein the drawbar element (14) is arranged at least partially between the transfer element (16) and the contact surface (AF) in a side view;
• and
• wherein the transfer element (16) is mounted on the coupling device (6) in such a way that said transfer element (16) is pivotably movable relative to the coupling frame element (8) about a transverse axis (HA) parallel to the contact surface (AF).
