A bale wrapping attachment for a baler that forms round bales is mounted at a rear portion of the baler and includes a support for a supply of wrapping material that is formed as a web and rolled into a roll. The web is passed across a fixed, non-rotating feed bar. The wrapping attachment includes a guillotine type knife that cooperates with a cross frame member forming an anvil. The knife is slidable between a retracted position and a cutting position wherein a knife carried by the cutter engages the cross frame member to sever material underneath the knife. When the knife is in its retracted position, the non-rotating feed bar is moved to a position wherein wrapping material draped over the feed bar contacts exposed surfaces of bale forming belts from the baler, causing the wrapping material to be carried with the belts and into the bale chamber to wrap around the bale. A signal is provided when a selected amount of wrapping material has been removed from the supply roll, and the cutter is then moved to its cutting position and at the same time, the feed bar is moved away from the bale forming belts. The wrapping material is severed and then the bale can be discharged. When the wrapping material is severed, it leaves a short length or tail that drapes over the feed bar so it is ready for the next feeding cycle.

A material reclaiming device is positioned below the bale forming of a round baler. The bale forming belts are spaced apart. The reclaiming device underlies a region to the bale chamber to catch material falling through the spaces between the bale forming belts and move the material forwardly, to be recycled or reclaimed into the in-feed region of the baler. A trough is provided under an in-feed drum to receive the material from the reclaiming device and cause such material to be carried with the incoming material into the bale forming chamber.

A large industrial waste tub grinder is mounted onto a lift or support frame that has a connection for a hook from a hoist on a truck so that the lift or support frame can be placed onto the truck and offloaded from the truck utilizing a conventional hook hoist. The lift or support frame supports the tub grinder on the ground surface, for in place use, the lift or support frame carries stabilizers for insuring that the lift or support frame provides a stable mounting for the tub grinder.

Lift frame for large tub grinders

A tub grinder is used for grinding industrial wastes, including large stumps, lumber chunks and the like. A cover member is pivoted alongside the tub, and is made in two sections. An upright frame section is pivoted near a plane along the bottom of the tub, and extends upwardly to a level at or adjacent to the top of the tub. A cover section is pivotally mounted to the upright frame and can be adjusted about a generally horizontal axis from a generally horizontal position to an upwardly extending position. The upright frame can be tilted outwardly so that the cover section is out of registry with the tub to permit the tub to be loaded.
