Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for inverting a windrow of hay or the like. The apparatus is in the form of an implement to be drawn by a tractor or any other appropriate vehicle and comprises a carriage supported at the front by skids and on which is mounted a pick-up conveyor assembly for gathering and elevating material from a windrow and depositing the elevated material on a rotating platform which moves the material 180 degrees along a circular path. The material is then discharged on the ground in inverted condition by the forward motion of the carriage.

Abstract: An improved forage blower having a small first stage paddle wheel type impeller or ventilator feeding a large conventionally sized second stage paddle wheel type impeller or ventilator via a short duct for transferring forage from the first stage ventilator to the second stage ventilator, the arrangement being such as to maintain the duct as short as conveniently possible to reduce loss of forage speed from the first stage ventilator to the second stage ventilator. The shafts of both ventilators are spaced apart and parallel, extending horizontally from a main power input for connection with a suitable motor such as the power take off of a farm tractor.

Abstract: A cattle feeding box mounted on a four wheel farm wagon of the type having a narrow reach between the steerable fore carriage and the rear axle. The feeding box has an elongate open top rectangular receptacle with lateral open walls presenting a plurality of feeding stations communicating with the inside of the feeder box. The bottom of the feeding box has a narrow central raised portion extending longitudinally for defining a space for the reach of the farm wagon, and vertical trough walls border the central raised portion. Feeding trough bottom surfaces extending outwardly from the lower edge of each trough wall, and raising slightly at their respective free edge define a relatively low and deep feed receiving pocket at each feeding station. A full width central divider disposed over the central raised portion directs the feed outwardly.

Abstract: A forage chopping and propelling device including a casing having an inclined bottom and disposed therein a chopper rotor and a booster impeller that operate as an integrated assembly to receive forage from an inlet, chop the forage and eject the chopped forage out a discharge chute. The forage travels along a rectilinear path from the inlet to the discharge chute and undergoes recutting by at least one recutting bar disposed between the chopper rotor and the booster impeller.
