Abstract
A baler for forming a bale includes a frame, an axle, a sensor, and at least one overload stop. The frame supports a bale chamber. The axle is connected to the frame at a first location and spaced apart from the frame at a second location. The sensor is positioned to measure the deflection of the axle. The deflection of the axle changes based upon a weight of the bale. The at least one overload stop is positioned on one of the axle and the frame to limit the deflection of the axle relative to the frame.
