Abstract:
A method of loading bales into a bale processing chamber of a bale processor. The bale processing chamber is mounted on a chamber frame mounted on wheels for travel on a ground surface in a forward operating travel direction. A bale fork is pivotally mounted on the chamber frame such that in a lowered position the bale fork is oriented substantially horizontally and rests on the ground surface. The chamber frame is moved rearward such that the bale fork slides under a bale resting on the ground surface with a bale axis oriented substantially horizontally in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the operating travel direction. The bale fork and the bale supported thereon are raised above the ground surface. The bale fork is turned such that the bale axis turns to a second direction substantially parallel to the operating travel direction while maintaining the bale rearward of the bale processing chamber. The bale fork is raised to a raised position where the bale falls into the bale processing chamber with the bale axis oriented in the second direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of loading bales into a bale processing chamber of a bale processor, the bale processing chamber mounted on a chamber frame mounted on wheels for travel on a ground surface in a forward operating travel direction, the method comprising:\n pivotally mounting a bale fork on the chamber frame such that in a lowered position the bale fork is oriented substantially horizontally and rests on the ground surface; moving the chamber frame rearward such that the bale fork slides under a bale resting on the ground surface with a bale axis oriented substantially horizontally in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the operating travel direction; raising the bale fork and the bale supported thereon above the ground surface; turning the bale fork such that the bale axis turns to a second direction substantially parallel to the operating travel direction while maintaining the bale rearward of the bale processing chamber; and raising the bale fork to a raised position where the bale falls into the bale processing chamber with the bale axis oriented in the second direction.
