Abstract
A weighing apparatus for bales as they are released from the bale chute of an agricultural baler has a weighting table supported on a first side of a support frame by a single load beam and supported on a second side by a support element. The weighing apparatus has a mechanism for measuring the inclination of the weighing table relative to the horizontal as well as a load beam and processor. The processor receives the signal from the load beam and based upon the sensed inclination provide an indication of a weight supported by the weighing table.
