A bale processor and transport apparatus includes a bale processor, and a hitch assembly attached to a rear end of the bale processor. A bale trailer is attached to the hitch assembly, and the bale trailer comprises a trailer conveyor operative to move bales forward on the bale trailer. A lift frame is provided on the bale processor above the hitch, and the lift frame is operative to receive a transported bale from the trailer conveyor and pivot the transported bale upward and forward into a chamber of the bale processor.

An agricultural machine includes a float cylinder interconnecting a header linkage system and a frame of the machine. A first rod side accumulator and a second rod side accumulator are both in fluid communication with a rod side fluid port of the float cylinder. A first accumulator control valve is positioned to control the first rod side accumulator, and is selectively controllable between an open position allowing fluid communication between the first rod side accumulator and the rod side fluid port of the float cylinder, and closed position blocking fluid communication between the first rod side accumulator and the rod side fluid port of the float cylinder. The system provides a slower first float response with the first accumulator control valve open, and a faster second float response with the first accumulator control valve closed.

A work vehicle configured to carry out work travel in a pasture land where harvested pasture grass 1 is present, the work vehicle having a quality determination device 20 configured to determine quality of the pasture grass 1 in the course of the work traveling. The quality determination device 20 includes a cylindrical grass sending tube 21, a grass taking section 22 configured to feed at least a portion of the pasture grass 1 left in the pasture land to an inside of the grass sending tube 21 via a first end of the grass sending tube 21 and a quality determination instrument 9 configured to determine quality of the pasture grass 1 compressed inside the grass sending tube 21.

A reloader for transferring crops from the field to an over-the-road trailer provides a conveyor chute allowing a straight path from receipt of crop materials to a cantilevered elevated end of the chute allowing extremely high throughput.

A method of preparing includes storing cut crop material in an accumulation having an oxygen barrier. The cut crop material ferments within the accumulation to form a silage material. After the fermentation of the silage material, the silage material is mechanically macerated with a macerator, and then fed to ruminant animals.
