摘要:
A bale transporter (1) for transporting large round bales (3) comprises a chassis (4) towable behind a tractor and a pair of cartridges (10) pivotally mounted on the chassis (4) and pivotal between a collecting state for collecting the bales from the ground and a transport state for transporting the bales. Each cartridge (10) defines a hollow interior region (18) for accommodating the bales extending between a forward open mouth (20) and a rearward open mount (21). A bale accommodating slot (33) extends along each: cartridge (10) from the forward open mouth (20) to the rearward open mouth (21) for accommodating bales in the hollow interior region (18) supported on the ground when the cartridge (10) is in the bale collecting state. Outer and inner forward guide members (38, 39) extend from the forward open mouth (20) of each cartridge (10), and a pair of first guide rollers (40) rotatably carried on the outer forward guide member (38) sequentially engage a bale on the ground as the corresponding cartridge (10) is being advanced towards the bale for progressively urging the bale into alignment with the forward open mouth (20) of the cartridge (10) for aligning the central geometrical axis of the bale with a main central longitudinal axis (19) of the cartridge (10). Further movement of the cartridge (10) towards the bale results in the bale being captured in the hollow interior region (18) of the cartridge (10).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a bale cutting apparatus comprising attachment means for coupling the apparatus to a prime mover and a cutting means to cut through a bale containing fodder. The apparatus has cutting means that is operable to retain the bale against a stop member and cut through the bale such that the fodder is discharged from the bale and any bale covering materials are retained by the apparatus. The present invention eliminates the need to separately remove any covering materials in which the fodder is wrapped.

摘要:
Forage mower comprising a housing (3) defining a hollow interior (7) with a forward open mouth (8) in which a plurality of cutting elements (10) are located. A transversely extending conditioning drum (12) located in the hollow interior (7) transfers cut forage from the cutting elements to a transversely extending transfer auger (17) which transfers the cut forage transversely across the hollow interior (7) and discharges the cut forage through a sidewardly facing side outlet (18). A closure element (30) pivotally coupled to a top wall (6) of the housing (3) closes a rearward open mouth (25), and is pivotal between a closed state and an open state. The closure element (30) in the open state forms a passageway (39) over the auger (17) to the rearwardly facing discharge outlet (35) through which a sward is rearwardly discharged. Deflector plates (43,44) deflect the forage material into a narrow sward.
