A baler includes a body, and a wrap system that is attached to the body. The wrap system is operable to support a roll of wrap material in an installed position. A cover is attached to the body, and is moveable between an open position and a closed position. When in open position, the cover provides access to the wrap system from an exterior location. When in the closed position, the cover encloses the wrap system from the exterior location. The baler includes a lift system attached to the body. The lift system is concealed between the body and the cover when the cover is disposed in the closed position. The lift system is positioned below the cover when the cover is disposed in the open position. The lift system raises the roll of wrap material into the installed position.

Net wrap lifting device

A non-stop round baler is towed by a towing vehicle and is divided into a collection chamber and a baling chamber. The collection chamber is disposed between a pick-up unit and the baling chamber. The collection chamber momentarily stores the crop material before being transferred to the baling chamber. A feed control gate is functionally disposed between the collection chamber and the baling chamber. The feed control gate is selectively switchable between a flow restricting configuration during a bale binding cycle and a bale ejection cycle, and a flow facilitating configuration during a bale forming cycle. When in the flow restricting configuration, the feed control gate blocks crop movement into the baling chamber. When in the flow facilitating configuration, the feed control gate facilitates crop movement into the baling chamber.

The lift system is concealed between the body and the cover when the cover is disposed in the closed position. The lift system is positioned below the cover when the cover is disposed in the open position. The lift system raises the roll of wrap material into the installed position.

A baler for use with a netwrap roll, where the baler includes a frame supported on one or more wheels, a housing coupled to the frame and at least partially defining a baling chamber therein, a netwrap assembly having a netwrap frame coupled to the housing and at least partially defining a netwrap chamber, and a loading device at least partially positioned within the netwrap chamber. Where the loading device includes a first frame fixed relative to the netwrap frame, a second frame movable relative to the first frame between a frame stowed position and a frame deployed position, and a carriage movable relative to the second frame between a carriage stowed position and a carriage deployed position, and wherein the carriage is configured to support the netwrap roll.
