Abstract
In a rotary crop baler for producing cylindrical crop bales, a simulated bale size and shape indicator is provided which provides the baler operator with a graphic representation of the size and shape of the bale being formed in the baler. The preferred indicator includes a potentiometer for producing a signal representative of the overall size of the bale, a plurality of potentiometers for producing corresponding signals representative of the shape of the bale, and an indicator including a signal processor and display liquid crystals or the like for producing the graphic simulation of the size and shape of the bale being formed.
