摘要： A cylindrical cotton module handling device includes an attachment having a pair of selectively spreadable, powered cylindrical tines adapted for supporting and rotating a module. Each powered tine is constructed from a cylindrical tube supported from a conventional L-shaped fork by a tubular sleeve received on, and dimensioned for fitting closely to, the horizontal leg of the conventional fork. The tubular sleeve is held in place by an L-shaped bracket forming a rearward extension of the sleeve and formed for embracing a region of the convention fork at the junction of its vertical and horizontal legs, with a retaining pin extending through vertical side plates of the bracket at a location just to the rear of the junction. An endless roller chain bearing arrangement is secured in encircling relationship to the tubular sleeve and supports the associated cylindrical tine for rotation. A hydraulic motor drive arrangement is mounted to the sleeve and has a shaft borne chain sprocket meshed with a drive chain carried by a rotating drive plates that are keyed to the cylindrical tube. A hydraulically retractable spike assembly is located inside a forward end section of the cylindrical tube and includes a plurality of spikes mounted for being selectively extended outwardly through holes in the tube for engaging a module wrapping during removal of the wrapping from the module.
