A forage bale feed out apparatus is described. The apparatus comprises a chassis (20) arranged to be operatively mounted on or in association with a vehicle in use； feed out means comprising a feed out roller (26) having an axis of rotational symmetry (R') about which the roller (26) is arranged to rotate, a drive motor (34) arranged to rotate the feed out roller (26), conveying means (42) for urging a bale towards said feed out roller (26)as the size of a bale diminishes. The feed out roller (26) is located at a feed out region (40), and the conveying means (42) is orientated such that the end of the conveying means (42) proximate the feed out region (40) is elevated towards the axis of rotational symmetry (R') of the feed out roller (26). The apparatus further comprises a spreader tool (T) adapted to spread and distribute the forage bale portions fed out from the feed roller (26) at the feed out region (40), wherein the spreader (T) comprises a roller having an axis of rotational symmetry (R'') about which the roller is arranged to rotate. The spreader roller has radially extending tines (52) at intervals which tines (52) co operate in use to spread feed from a bale, and further comprising a spreader drive motor (35) arranged to rotate the spreader roller, wherein the feed out roller (26) and the spreader roller are parallel and driven in opposite directions.La présente invention concerne un appareil de sortie de balles de fourrage. L'appareil comprend un châssis (20) disposé pour être monté fonctionnellement sur un véhicule en cours d'utilisation ou en association avec ce dernier ； des moyens de sortie comprenant un rouleau de sortie (26) présentant un axe de symétrie de révolution (R') autour duquel le rouleau (26) est disposé pour tourner, un moteur d'entraînement (34) disposé pour faire tourner le rouleau de sortie (26), des moyens de transport (42) permettant de pousser une balle vers ledit rouleau de sortie (26) lorsque la taille d'une balle diminue.
