Wrapping device for large round baler including holder for spare roll of

Abstract

A large round baler is equipped with a device for wrapping bales with a web of net wrapping material. The device includes structure for supporting a spare supply roll of wrapping material a short distance vertically above a zone for containing an active supply roll of wrapping material. The structure for supporting the spare roll is selectively movable to a non-use position for permitting a pressure-applying roller, that normally engages the active supply roll of wrapping material, to be swung vertically out of the way so as to permit the spare supply roll to be moved into place as the active supply roll once the latter is depleted. A pair of retractable loading supports are provided for supporting the spare supply roll at a location reawardly of the zone prior to moving the spare roll into the zone to take the place of the depleted active supply roll. A net guide roll has one end mounted for being selectively lifted to permit easier threading of a length of net that has been pulled from the spare supply roll when the latter is located on the loading supports.
