A method and a device are provided to compress crop material laid down in single layers for producing silage in a horizontal silo, with the use of an agricultural working machine, that carries a compressing device, the crop material laid down in single layers is compressed by at least one compressing element, and the at least one compressing element weighs on the crop material and moves relative to it.

In method and a device for determining the compression properties of crop material in an agricultural working machine, a compressing device is capable of being filled with a material sample during the working process, the compression of the material sample is determined based on at least one defined precompression of the material sample carried out by the compressing device, and at least one compressing element assigned to the compressing device applies a load on the material sample and moves relative to it, to provide an improved compression effect in crop material.

A bale set-down system and method for setting down bales from an agricultural baling press onto a field includes placing down of at least one bale on a ground, and setting down at least one another bale in a direct vicinity of the first mentioned bale that has already been placed on the ground.

Bale set-down system

An implement support frame or holder is mounted to an end of a boom for swinging about a horizontal, transverse axis. A pair of transversely spaced, tapered locating pins are mounted to a horizontal, transverse member of the support frame. The pins are each provided with a front surface that is curved on a radius about the transverse pivot axis and a gradually tapering rear surface. The pins are symmetrical about a fore-and-aft extending vertical plane with the curved forward surface acting to aid in guiding the pins into circular receptacles provided in an upper rear horizontal member of the implement.
