ABSTRACT:
A spooled hay dispenser apparatus for unrolling spooled hay from a tractor. The apparatus provides a slotted tube at the ends of and perpendicular to a cross bar for rotatably mounting spiked arms which hold a cylindrical hay bale. An upright locking bracket lets the operator pick up a roll of hay at the storage area, carry it to the feeding area, and completely unroll it without having to adjust the turnbuckle of the tractor's three point hitch at all. This bracket is of heavy construction design so as not to bend in use; this enhances the maintaining of control of the invention, even when handling uneven hay rolls (e.g., large on one end and small on the other). Also, the centered bracket on the cross bar maintains the arms horizontally when the bale is almost completely unrolled to prevent gouging the ground surface with the hexagonal bale holding plates.
