  • Patent number: 4229934
    Abstract: Apparatus for rolling large bales of fodder has a frame with a floor that supports a working run of fodder conveying chains trained around front and rear sprockets, and fodder pickup means is coaxial with the front sprockets and feeds fodder onto the conveying chains. Endless baling chains are connected by raddles that extend transversely above the floor, with the chains carried on sprockets except in a baling run above the floor where the ends of the raddles are supported on large rotatable discs at the sides of the frame. Rearward sprockets for the baling raddle chains are carried on a rear gate that has an upright baling position; and hydraulic cylinder means swings the gate upwardly and readwardly to release a bale. In baling position the floor is tilted forwardly, and a hitch for the apparatus has rear and front transverse pivots about which it is pivoted by hydraulic cylinder means to swing the frame to a discharge position in which the floor is tilted rearwardly.
