Abstract
Apparatus for unrolling roll bales of crop material includes an apron having a horizontal section and an upwardly inclined section at each end of the horizontal section. A finger drum is located adjacent the intersection of the horizontal section and one of the upwardly inclined sections of the apron. The apron is movable in a direction to move a roll bale resting thereon into contact with the finger drum so that the roll bale will be gradually unrolled as it is rotated. Material removed from the roll bale will be carried up one of the inclined sections of the apron to a suitable height for delivery into a feed trough while the other inclined section of the apron prevents the bale from rolling off the apron.
