Abstract
A method of wrapping cylindrical bales of crop material with twine includes extending and retracting an electrical actuator to cause pivoting movement of a twine arm. When the electrical actuator is extended, the twine arm is moved from a rest position to a twine dispensing position and a feed roller is simultaneously driven to feed twine that is dispensed by the twine arm. Retraction of the electrical actuator moves the twine arm from the twine dispensing position toward a twine cutting position while the feed roller continues to be driven. When the electrical actuator is retracted further, the twine arm is moved into the twine cutting position and a knife is simultaneously actuated to cut the twine.
