A material reclaiming device is positioned below the bale forming of a round baler. The bale forming belts are spaced apart. The reclaiming device underlies a region to the bale chamber to catch material falling through the spaces between the bale forming belts and move the material forwardly, to be recycled or reclaimed into the in-feed region of the baler. A trough is provided under an in-feed drum to receive the material from the reclaiming device and cause such material to be carried with the incoming material into the bale forming chamber.

Round baler leaf reclamation device

A mobile frame is provided including a frusto-conical ground wheel journaled for rotation about a generally horizontal but inclined transverse axis with the lowermost slant height of the wheel disposed for surface-to-surface contact with the ground over which the frame is advanced. The wheel includes a central body occupying the central portion of the interior thereof thereby limiting the useful volume of the interior of the wheel to an outer circumferential area thereof and stone deflecting structure is provided for deflecting stones lying on the ground into the lower periphery of the outer circumferential interior area of the wheel through the open side thereof. The body includes a plurality of radially outwardly facing relatively angulated sides spaced about the axis of rotation of the wheel and convergent toward the open end thereof. An inclined chute is supported in generally horizontal registry with the upper periphery of the body at the minor dimension end thereof adjacent the open side of the wheel and a driven fluted kicker roll is journaled outwardly of and extends along the outer end of the chute remote from the open end of the wheel for engaging stones passing from the interior of the wheel and being discharged downwardly therefrom along the chute. The engaged stones are then laterally discharged from the fluted roll into an upwardly opening receptacle disposed on the side of the roll remote from the chute.
