Abstract
An automatically controlled twine-wrapping mechanism for a large round baler includes a hydraulically driven twine arm for feeding twine across the width of a bale during the last part of its formation in a bale chamber. The twine passes between a planar surface of the arm and a generally rectangular tensioner plate which is slidably received on a pin carried by the surface and is spring biased towards the surface. The tensioner plate includes contiguous beveled edges which respectively aid in the threading of and in the passage of twine through the tensioner. The tensioner plate also includes a straight edge on the side thereof from which the twine exits. This edge serves to impede reverse movement of twine through the tensioner.
