ABSTRACT:
A hay bale feeder (1) which can be carried or towed has a framework including spaced apart side walls (4:9,28) which define a trough (T) into which a round hay bale can be placed to be supported and rotated by an endless conveyor (14) extending across the trough (T) between the side walls (4;9,28). The endless conveyor (14) has bale engaging spikes (26) which engage with the bale causing it to rotate and at the upper edge of the side wall (9,28) tears off hay from the bale to give a narrow windrow feed out from the apparatus over the side wall (9,28).
