摘要：
A bale cutting apparatus (1) for attachment to a prime mover (3) is disclosed. The apparatus comprises attachment means (2) for coupling the apparatus to a prime mover, a stop member (13), and a cutting means (4) to cut through a bale (5) containing fodder. The cutting means have an upwardly directed cutting edge (9) and is operable to retain the bale against the stop member. The cutting means are movable upwardly towards the stop member to cut through the bale such that the fodder is discharged from the bale and any bale covering materials (10) are retained between the cutting means and the stop member. The apparatus eliminates the need to separately remove any covering materials in which the fodder is wrapped and also prevents the bale covering material being discharged with the fodder. A method for cutting a bale containing fodder is also disclosed.
