A dual bale lifting device. The dual bale lifting device includes a frame with a vertical member mounted to one end. The frame is configured to be mounted to a vehicle, such as a tractor. A first spike is rigidly mounted onto one end of the frame and a second spike is mounted onto a slidable element, which is situated within a track of the vertical member. The slidable element is vertically adjustable within the track. A latch is positioned on the vertical member and is configured to lock the slidable element in an upward position. When the latch is released, the slidable element and second spike thereon are lowered under the force of gravity.
