ABSTRACT:
In a forage cutter, a cutting wheel is rotatably mounted within a housing. For an angular portion of the wheel relative to the housing, its outer circumferential periphery is positioned adjacent to a backing wall of the housing. Alternating knives and blades are attached to the cutting wheel about its circumferential periphery with the knives coacting with a stationary cutting plate to cut forage material introduced into the housing. After the material is cut it is carried downwardly to a space where it is crushed and the crushed material is moved upwardly by the blades on the cutting wheel to an outlet passageway. The crushing space is provided by diverging the backing wall outwardly from the outer circumferential periphery of the cutting wheel. Following the crushing space, the backing wall converges inwardly toward the outer circumferential periphery of the cutting wheel. The outlet passageway follows the inwardly converging backing wall in the direction of rotation of the cutting wheel. The crushing action is afforded by cooperating crushing rollers or by a crushing roller cooperating with a friction surface.
