ABSTRACT:
The bale feeding attachment is mountable on a machine for handling large round bales that has a vertically adjustable elongated main frame including a pair of transversely spaced side structures, each of which has a longitudinal ramp member. The ramp members are movable with the frame to lowered positions at opposite side portions of a ground supported bale and engageable, on elevation of the frame, with the bale side portions to support the bale for transport. The attachment includes a pair of laterally extendible and retractable bale supporting units, each of which, when retracted, is pivotally movable on an associated side structure to an inoperative position permitting a normal use of the bale handling machine. When a bale is in a transport position, between the supporting units, the supporting units are pivotally moved and laterally extended to move bale feeding rollers thereon into bale holding positions, free of the machine ramp members. On rotation of the bale feeding rollers and advance of the machine, the bale is rotated and the material removed therefrom by the rollers is loosely dispersed in a continuous windrow extended rearwardly from the machine.
