Abstract
The bale is formed by rolling it between an arcuate retaining grid at the front of the bale and an upwardly moving, flexible belt at the rear of the bale while continuously adding additional crop material to the forming chamber. The grid and the belts yield away from one another under substantial resistance during growth of the bale in order to compact the latter to the desired density. Because the grid and the belts share a common spring tensioning mechanism, compacting force is applied uniformly around the bale by those members throughout the forming process, thereby rendering the bale more truly circular in cross-sectional configuration and of more nearly uniform density throughout.
