A lift arm frame is pivotally attached to a rear end of the chamber frame about a lift pivot axis, and a lift actuator pivots the lift arm frame from a lowered position to a raised position. A bale turning assembly is pivotally attached to the lift arm frame and bale fork tines are attached to the bale turning assembly. A turning actuator pivots the bale turning assembly from a standard position, where the bale fork tines extend rearward from bale processing chamber to a turned position, where the bale fork tines are rearward of the bale processing chamber and perpendicular to the travel direction. A shear bar cuts twine on rectangular bales as they fall into the chamber but does not affect cylindrical bales.41 Tf )J23R 3F 3 7 233 25F2 9LPA 9 MPA 313F 23A 23R 31 25 13 23 15 FIG. 1 T 3 17A MPA -1 7 27 9MPA- 23A9 23 -29 ~23 17B . -,/23F 25 31 -31 F [] 33 23 -31 15 2525F-LZZ FIG. 2 FG
