Abstract
An agricultural bagging machine is disclosed comprising a vertically disposed feeder positioned above the rotor thereof to move silage downwardly into contact with the rotor. A substantially horizontally disposed feeder is positioned forwardly of the rotor to move silage rearwardly into contact with the rotor. Each of the feeders comprises a plurality of spaced-apart augers which are mounted to permit the separation of the same should the operator inadvertently come into contact with the rotating augers.

- said rotor means being in communication with said hopper means,
- a first, substantially vertically disposed powered feeder means positioned in said hopper means, said first feeder means being positioned above said rotor means for moving silage downwardly in said hopper means towards said rotor means, said first feeder means having upper and lower ends, the lower end of said first feeder means being disposed above said rotor means,
- and a second powered feeder means positioned in said hopper means adjacent said intake end and forwardly of said rotor means for moving silage rearwardly in said hopper means towards said rotor means, said second feeder means having rearward and forward ends, the rearward end of said second feeder means being disposed forwardly of said rotor means,
- said second powered feeder means being positioned below the lower end of said first powered feeder means;
- said first and second powered feeder means being angularly positioned with respect to each other to cooperate and feed the material therebetween to said rotor means.
