Disclosed is an apparatus for disintegrating bales of agricultural material such as hay. The apparatus has a chassis 3, a processing tub 1 with a discharge opening 13 located in one of its side walls 11, a disintegrator 17 mounted in the processing tub 1 to disintegrate baled crop material positioned within the tub and discharge the processed bale material out the discharge opening 13 and a manipulator 27 mounted within the processing tub 1 adapted to manipulate the baled crop material to expose different parts thereof to the disintegrator 17. The processing tub 1 is adapted to be mounted on the chassis 3 such that the discharge opening 13 can be positioned on either the left or right side of the chassis 3. In an embodiment of the invention, the processing tub 1 is sized to accommodated a large square bale lengthwise therein or two or more round bales. The apparatus is also provided with an adjustable fork lift 97 to raise bales of different configurations into the processing tube and a hydraulic selector valve 137 such that two sets of hydraulic systems on the processor can be operated by a single hydraulic line 151 from a tractor or other power source. |
