Abstract
A combination of a tractor and a baler includes a tractor control unit and a baler control unit. A driving speed of the tractor can be set and/or adjusted with the tractor control unit. The baler includes a bale sensor in order to sense the size of a bale in a baling chamber. The baler control unit is connected to the bale sensor and to the tractor control unit to send a stop signal to the tractor control unit when the bale signal of the bale sensor indicates that a bale has reached a size which is greater than or equal to a first predetermined size. The tractor control unit controls the tractor to initiate a braking operation for stopping the tractor and to adapt a driving rotational speed of the drive shaft of the baler when the tractor control unit receives the stop signal from the baler control unit.
