CYLINDRICAL BALE TRANSPORTING AND UNROLLING DEVICE

摘要

"CYLINDRICAL BALE TRANSPORTING AND UNROLLING DEVICE" A frame is supported upon skids and includes a pair of opposed hubs which can be raised and lowered within the frame by hydraulic piston and cylinder assemblies. The sides of the frame and the hubs can be moved together or spread apart in order to grip and engage the ends of a cylindrical bale. The bale may be elevated in the frame or can be lowered so that the bale engages with the ground so that when the frame is towed by a tractor or the like, the bale unrolls therebehind. The weight of the bale, assisted if necessary by the downward thrust of the piston and cylinder assemblies, supplies sufficient friction with the ground to unroll the bale which rotates with the hubs.
