An apparatus for feeding a spirally wrapped round bale of fibrous material, such as hay, comprising a flat support, and endless flight conveyor having a top run extending across the top of the support, a retaining wall at one end of the support, a restriction roller having fingers extending therefrom for gripping the fibrous material, and a power mechanism for driving the roller and the conveyor to feed a round bale positioned between the wall and the roller. The power mechanism includes a wheeled vehicle having a forklift receivable by the support for lifting and transporting the support. Mating hubs on the support and the vehicle transmit rotational power from the vehicle to the feeding apparatus.
