Abstract

A round baler and a method for operating a round baler are disclosed. The round baler has a variable diameter and is bounded by an endlessly rotating pressing means. The pressing means is guided by a plurality of rollers, wherein a loop of the pressing means is guided by a first clamping arm mounted on the housing side and by a second clamping arm mounted on the housing side. The first and second clamping arms are adjusted by actuators so that at least one compaction pressure is generated with which the pressing means acts to form a round bale. A control unit automatically controls the actuators depending on a compaction power curve, accounting for operating parameters and/or environmental parameters of the round baler, thereby maintaining a substantially stable operating point during the shaping process, in which the required compaction power and the available drive power are substantially equal.
