Apparatus for shredding large bales of straw comprises a shredding mechanism (14) surrounded in part by a part cylindrical vertical wail (16) and in part by a movable loading chute (18). The loading chute (18) is movable from a lowered position in which it slopes to the ground to a feeding position in which it slopes in towards the shredding mechanism (14). The apparatus can be driven towards a bale with its chute (18) lowered so that the chute slides under the bale, and the chute then raised to lift the bale and cause it to slide towards the shredding mechanism (14). The bale is fed into the shredder inclined an at an angle, and may break into pieces before entering the shredder. This places less strain on the shredding mechanism (14) since it does not support the full weight of the bale. <IMAGE> |
