ABSTRACT:
A hay bale feeder comprises a cradle having opposed end plates and side formed by angularly disposed conveyors movable laterally relative to the longitudinal axis of the cradle. Each conveyor comprises a pair of substantially parallel endless chains carried by sprockets on respective upper and lower shafts extending between the end plates, and a plurality of slats or bars are fixed to the chains for movement therewith. The slats or bars have spikes extending therefrom to engage in and remove hay from a bale carried in the cradle. The conveyors are driven in synchronism so that upper runs of the conveyors move in the same general lateral direction. Guide plates support the conveyor chains between the respective upper and lower shafts.
