Abstract
A machine has a frame supporting a movable ram for forcing baled material, such as baled hay, into fixed cutting blades to cut the material into sections. A hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly connected to the ram and frame sequentially moves the ram toward and way from the blades to cut material in a chamber between the ram and cutting blades and allow material to be placed into the chambers. A platform mounted on the frame is used to present the baled material to the chamber. A pair of plates pivotally mounted on the frame are moved by the ram to separate the baled material into upper and lower portions that sequentially cut into sections by movement of the ram toward the blades.
