ABSTRACT:
A forage handler adapted for mounting on a standard forage gathering device comprises a rotary head having protruding tines for dislodging forage from stacks and urging it toward the forage gathering device. The handler includes a support frame in which the rotary head is mounted, and a rotary beater or separator having teeth for breaking up large aggregations of forage and urging the same toward the forage gathering device. The support frame has a pair of booms which are pivotally connected to the gathering device and include motors to swing the rotary head into selected vertical orientations for dislodging the forage. The beater is positioned substantially parallel with and rearward of the rotary head, whereby the forage dislodged from the stacks by the rotary head is directed into the beater for flailing the forage to break up the large aggregations thereof, and urge the forage toward the gathering device.
