Abstract
A mechanism for wrapping a plastic cover sheet about a round bale of hay is incorporated in a round bale forming machine. The mechanism includes an arbor for receipt of a roll of wrapping material. The arbor is positioned in the bale forming machine forward of the bale forming mechanism. The wrapping material is fed from the roll and wraps about the formed round bale as the baling machine moves forward. After the wrapping material encircles the bale, it is cut. The cut end is overlapped on the wrapped bale and glued thereto. Various wrapping material feed and cut off mechanisms are disclosed.
