A method of controlling formation of a bale includes: forming a bale from crop material by rotating the bale in a bale chamber; receiving with a controller of a control system at least one operating condition value corresponding to at least one operating condition sensed by a sensor when the bale is forming; automatically determining with the controller a power take-off speed of a drive mechanism responsive to receiving the at least one received operating condition value; and applying with the control system the determined power take-off speed to the drive mechanism.

Bale forming control system and method

Stationary plates are mounted in the spaces between the segments of a roll. At least one of the plates comprises a cam-like extension, protruding from the roll surface for preventing wrapping material from wrapping around the roll.

Baler with an improved stripper roll

A control system is provided to select the number of dogs automatically in dependence of the position of the last completed bale in the bale case as indicated by the output of a sensor responsive to movement of the bales in the bale case.

Ejector system for a square baler

A twine brake device is so controlled that during an initial period in which the bale chamber is not filled with harvested material, the average tension in the twine, wire or cord is higher than during a second period in which the bale chamber is completely filled with harvested material.

Method for controlling a twine brake device of a square baler

A square baler comprising a controller for controlling the operation of the baler in dependence on the first, second and third signals representing the mass of a bale, the force of the piston of the baler, the energization of the actuator respectively and an input target value for the mass of the bale wherein the first signal is fed back in a first control loop and compared with the target weight to generate a target force, the second signal is fed in a second control loop and compared with the target force to generate a target energization, the third signal is fed in a third control loop and compared with the target energization to control the energization of the actuator.

Square baler and a related control method

A baler has a bale chamber and a needle movable through the bale chamber to pass a strand of twine from one side of the bale chamber to a knotter located on the opposite side, the twine being engaged by a tip of the needle. In the invention, pressurized air is directed at the needle tip. The supply of pressurized air may be discontinuous and timed to coincide only with certain phases of the needle operating cycle. The air stream avoids crop material being caught up in the knots formed by the knotter.

Needle with air duct

A round baler comprises a mechanism for encircling a bale after it has been formed with a wrapping material drawn from a web on a supply roll. A guide mechanism is provided for adjusting the width of the web of wrapping material as it is offered to a formed bale, so as to selectively enable and disable the wrapping of the edges of the bale.

Agricultural round baler including guide mechanism for adjusting the width of a wrapping material

A round baler, having a pair of spaced side walls mounted on a main frame, is supported on wheels and adapted to be pulled across a field. A crop confining apron is mounted between the side walls for defining an expandable chamber that is adapted to rotatably form a cylindrical package of crop material between the side walls. A pickup picks up crop material and conveys it into the chamber through a generally transverse crop infeed opening operatively associated with the pickup. A transverse starter roll extends between the side walls to provide the upper limit of the infeed opening. A crop severing device extends into the expandable chamber in the vicinity of the starter roll to cut crop material on the surface of the cylindrical package as it is being formed.

Method of forming a segmented round bale

The invention relates to a harvesting machine provided with rotary separating means, grain cleaning means located generally below the rotary separating means and at a central location below and between transversely spaced separator discharge openings, and deflector means to convey and deflect crop material from locations generally below and at both sides of the cleaning means rearwardly and inwardly to a central location generally to the rear of the discharge end of the cleaning means. The deflector means are comprised of overhead and lateral deflectors positioned at predetermined angles to one another to progressively change the direction of movement of the discharged crop material from a generally fore-and-aft path towards the central discharge location.
