ABSTRACT:
A device which takes cut alfalfa laying in a field and turns it into a plurality of pressed cubes. A water spray conditions the cut alfalfa to have the right moisture content for subsequent processing. A pick up station delivers the alfalfa off of the ground and feeds it to an auger and paddle area for subsequent conveyance to a chopping station where the alfalfa is comminuted to the appropriate length. Thereafter, the chopped alfalfa is conveyed into a press where the cubes of alfalfa are formed by extrusion. Conveyors allow the formed cubes to be placed in a trailer hitched to the vehicle. By providing a vehicle which processes the alfalfa in the field, enhanced quality of the alfalfa cubes and efficiency results.
