A machine for cutting straw from a bale of compressed straw and which is particularly adapted to avoid jamming of the rotatable cutters and to allow displacement of the machine for use in any desired location and to eject the cut straw in any desired direction. This straw cutting machine comprises a body having a top provided with a series of slots and also provided with cutters mounted on a shaft placed underneath and transversely to the body of the machine such that, when the cutters are rotating they project through the slots. The bale of straw to be cut is inserted into an upstanding tube open at both ends which turns about its vertical axis. The bottom face of the bale of straw rests on the body top and is engaged by the cutters which chop the straw and lift the bale against its own weight. The cutters sweep against the entire bottom face of the bale of straw because the cutter is turned by the rotating tube. The jamming of the cutters is avoided because there is no shearing of the straw since the surfaces of the cutters are spaced from the edges of the slots. This straw cutting machine is mounted on wheels for manual displacement of the machine. It is also provided with an opening to allow for the selective directional ejection of the cut straw, the latter being ejected by the cutters.
