ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A vehicle for distributing straw or like material from spirally wound, cylindrical bales (so called "round" bales), the rear end of the vehicle having a bale support comprising three transverse rollers, or a combination of a slide and two rollers, with open spaces therebetween. With three rollers, the front and rear rollers are at the same level, and the central roller is below this level, so that the three rollers can cradle a bale while rotating this to feed the straw from the bale. The rollers are rotated by drive means geared to the vehicle engine or wheels, and are arranged so that the peripheral speed of the rollers decreases towards the rear end of the vehicle so as to assist in loosening the straw as it moves from the front to the rear rollers. The middle and rear rollers have blunt projections for frictionally engaging the straw, but these do not cause shredding of the straw. The vehicle may have a platform in front of the bale support, for storing a second bale. Also, the structural members which hold the rollers may be made tiltable so that the roll support can be brought to near ground level to facilitate loading of a bale onto the support.
