ABSTRACT:
A machine adapted to be towed by a tractor and powered by the PTO and hydraulic power system of the tractor for loading, transporting, shredding and feeding a module (bale or stack) of hay of substantial size and weight. The machine includes a frame and a load bed thereon. The frame mechanically supported on a pair of ground wheels which are swingable relative to the frame to tilt the load bed rearwardly into ground engagement. A module pickup ramp or fork is pivotally mounted on the load bed for lifting a module onto the load bed. A conveyor on the load bed moves the module forwardly against a plurality of vertically spaced rotary shredders. The shredded hay falls upon an auger conveyor which feeds the hay from the machine into a feed bunk or onto the ground for livestock feeding. The load bed conveyor is hydraulically driven and the shredders are mechnically driven. Control means are operatively connected between the drives for slowing the conveyor feed rate in response to an increase in the load on the shredders.
