ABSTRACT:
A round bale transporter and unroller provides a mechanical system for unrolling large, round bales. The apparatus includes a frame that may be mounted on a front end loader. The mounting brackets are adjustable and "universal". A carriage is mounted on the frame for movement from side to side. The carriage carries a bale support in the form of a large disk with a long center spike and four smaller spikes distributed around it. The support is mounted on a shaft for rotation by a hydraulic motor also carried on the carriage. The unrolling mechanism is positioned at one side of the frame and projects to the front so that it lies alongside a bale carried by the support mechanism. The unroller includes a power driven, spiked cylinder that rotates in the same direction as the bale to draw material from the bale over the cylinder. As material is removed from the bale, the carriage is shifted towards the unroller.
