Abstract

A baler implement includes a baling chamber. A wrap system wraps a wrap material around a bale within the baling chamber. A wrap sensor detects data related to a position of a tail end of the wrap material on the bale. A bale transfer device pushes the bale away during ejection from the baler implement. A baler controller determines a position of the tail end of the wrap material on the bale within the baling chamber, and initiates the ejection sequence to eject the bale onto a ground surface. The baler controller controls the bale transfer device based on the position of the tail end of the wrap material, such that the bale comes to rest with at least a minimum length of the wrap material extending between the tail end of the wrap material and a ground contact location disposed nearest the tail end of the wrap material.
