Abstract
A loading apparatus for a round baler for loading a roll of binding material on the round baler is disclosed comprising a binding material support displaceable about a first end between a storage position and a transfer position, in which when in the storage position a first end of the binding material support is raised relative to a second end of the binding material support and when in the transfer position the first end of the binding material support is lowered relative to the second end of the binding material support.

A loading apparatus for a round baler for loading a roll of binding material on the round baler comprises a binding material roll support displaceable about a first end between a storage position and a transfer position in which a second end is pivotally displaced relative to the first end, wherein when in the storage position the second end of the binding material roll support is raised relative to the first end of the binding material roll support and when in the transfer position the second end of the binding material roll support is lowered relative to the first end of the binding material roll support, and wherein the binding material roll support comprises a first inner lateral edge and a second outer lateral edge each extending between first and second ends of the binding material roll support, a stop provided at a second end of the binding material roll support, a first cross member extending beneath the binding material roll support between the first and second lateral edges and a second cross member extending beneath the support between the first and second lateral edges and located between the first cross member and the first end of the binding material roll support.
A loading apparatus for a round baler for loading a roll of binding material on the round baler comprises a binding material roll support displaceable about a first end between a storage position and a transfer position in which a second end is pivotally displaced relative to the first end, wherein when in the storage position the second end of the binding material roll support is raised relative to the first end of the binding material roll support, and when in the transfer position the second end of the binding material roll support is lowered relative to the first end of the binding material roll support, characterised in that the loading apparatus incorporates first and second mounting points, a first longer connecting element pivotally connected at a first end to the first mounting point for rotation about a first pivot axis and pivotally connected at a second end to the first cross member, a second shorter connecting element pivotally connected at a first end to the second mounting point for rotation about a second pivot axis and pivotally connected at a second end to the second cross member.
