A self-propelled machine that is used to break apart large round bales of straw and disperse the shredded material on a prepared seed bed. The machine includes an engine for power, a round bale chopper to dismember the round bale, a centrifugal fan and a moveable blower chute at least 9 feet long. The blower chute can move 360 degrees in the horizontal plane and 60 degrees in the vertical plane and allows the operator to very precisely control the amount and placement of the shredded material. A second large round bale can be stored and transported on the machine and can easily be moved into position to be shredded. An operator control chair is located at the right rear of the machine and is capable of controlling every aspect of the machine from the single location.
