A baled crop material processor for disintegrating baled crop material comprising a container, a disintegrator, a discharge opening and means for manipulating the crop material for disintegration by the disintegrator. The container, receives and contains the crop material. The disintegrator comprises a flail roller that is mounted within the container and has a number of flails pivotally mounted about it. The flail roller rotates about its own longitudinal axis in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The discharge opening is at the bottom of one of the side walls to discharge the disintegrated crop material either to the left or to the right of the processor and in a bidirectional processor, the operator may alternate between sides. The manipulation means comprises manipulator rollers having paddles positioned at an angle to the length of the roller to rotate the crop material without substantially breaking the crop material apart. The paddles are channel shaped with outwardly curved ends to grasp the baled crop material for rotation and then to pull out of the crop material due to the curved end as the roller is rotated. Further, the angled paddles guide the crop material longitudinally toward the centre of the crop material processor away from the front and back walls. Moreover, the sidewalls of the container are shaped to have a protrusion projecting into the container in close proximity to the paddles, a spacing below the protrusion to prevent the accumulation of loose material, and outwardly sloped wall portions above the protrusion.
