Abstract
A strapping system for an agricultural implement includes a strap feeding assembly positioned on a first side of a baling chamber and a rotating gripper assembly positioned on a second side of the baling chamber, opposite the first side. The strapping system also includes a track assembly configured to direct a strap from the strap feeding assembly to the rotating gripper assembly. The rotating gripper assembly is configured to grip the strap while the rotating gripper assembly is in a first orientation, and while the rotating gripper assembly is in a second orientation that enables crop flow in a rearward direction to draw the strap through the strap feeding assembly.
