Abstract
A feed cutter is mounted in a discharge area of a bale processor and includes a rotating member with a series of mounted blades. The feed cutter may be used to substantially reduce the length of crop material separated from a bale being processed that is to be used to feed livestock. Optionally, the feed cutter may be mounted to facilitate discharge of material from the processor with or without further processing by the feed cutter.
