ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus is described for handling round bales of hay, straw or the like material. In general terms, the handling comprises the steps of dispensing a round bale of hay or the like material by unwinding the bale and feeding the thus produced continuous mat into the inlet device of a compactor, typically employing the compacting mechanism of a known square baler. The compactor compacts the material fed into it to produce a second, compacted state generally similar to square bales. Thus, in brief, the invention converts the round bales into square bales. In a particularly preferred application of the invention, the continuous compact mass of the material is fed directly into a grinder-mixer. The grinder-mixer, being usually on a mobile frame, can thus be fed from a round bale. Since the volume of the round bale is a high multiple of that of hand-fed square bales, which have usually been used for adding hay into a grinder mixer, the use of the invention eliminates labor intensive hand feeding of the grinder-mixer while at the same time the production rate of the bale making is high as round bales are used for the purpose, rather than square bales.
