A strapping system for an agricultural implement includes a strap feeding assembly positioned on a first side of a baling chamber, the strap feeding assembly being configured to propel a strap through or around at least a portion of the baling chamber. The system includes a needle positioned on a second side of the baling chamber, opposite the first side. The needle is configured to move through the baling chamber to extend from the second side to the first side of the baling chamber, and the needle includes an opening configured to receive the strap from the strap feeding assembly and to facilitate transfer of an end of the strap from the first side to the second side of the baling chamber to position the strap for capturing material as the material accumulates within the baling chamber.

Strapping system for agricultural implement

A strapping system for an agricultural implement includes a strap feeding assembly positioned on a first side of a baling chamber and a rotating gripper assembly positioned on a second side of the baling chamber, opposite the first side. The strapping system also includes a track assembly configured to direct a strap from the strap feeding assembly to the rotating gripper assembly. The rotating gripper assembly is configured to grip the strap while the rotating gripper assembly is in a first orientation, and while the rotating gripper assembly is in a second orientation that enables crop flow in a rearward direction to draw the strap through the strap feeding assembly.
