A transfer device includes an arm that has a first end and a second end. The transfer device includes a pivot positioned at the first end of the arm. The pivot is configured to be secured to a baling machine. The transfer device includes a lifting device positioned on the arm. The lifting device is configured to be attached to a bale wrap material supply roll.

Wrap material transfer device

The present disclosure relates to a round baler () including a baling chamber () for forming a bale () and a first wrapping mechanism () mounted to the baling chamber (). The first wrapping mechanism () includes a feed system that feeds the wrap material () into the baling chamber (). The round baler () further comprises a second wrapping mechanism () mounted to the baling chamber () which includes a feed system that feeds the wrap material () into the baling chamber (). Further, the round baler () includes an inlet () wherein wrap material () from the first wrapping mechanism () and wrap material () from the second wrapping mechanism () enter the baling chamber (). The first wrapping mechanism () and second wrapping mechanism () are configured to be operated independently.

Round baler with dual wrapping rolls

The round baler includes a frame and a tailgate pivotally mounted to the frame via a tailgate pivot axis. The tailgate is movable along a path of travel range between an open position and a closed position. When in the open position, a bale can be discharged from the baler and, when in the closed position, a bale is prevented from being discharged from the baler. The baler also includes a sensor that has a sensor axis. This sensor is mounted to the baler with the sensor axis approximately coaxial with the tailgate pivot axis. An operating portion of the sensor is operatively directly movable with the tailgate. The sensor has a mechanical rotary range that is at least the travel range of the tailgate; and an electrical sensing range. The electrical sensing range is less than both the mechanical rotary range and the travel range of the tailgate.
