Control system for an agricultural baler

An agricultural baler, comprising:

• a bale wrapping system configured to receive a bale wrap from a bale wrap assembly and to wrap a bale with the bale wrap;
• a braking system configured to control a tension force on the bale wrap;
• a cutting system configured to cut the bale wrap;
• and
• a control system, comprising:
• a controller comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the controller is communicatively coupled to the braking system and the cutting system, and the controller is configured to:
• receive a bale wrap signal indicative of a bale wrap type of the bale wrap;
• determine whether the bale wrap is segmented or continuous based on the bale wrap type;
• control the braking system such that the tension force at a weakened section of the bale wrap is sufficient to separate a first portion of the bale wrap disposed about the bale from a second portion of the bale wrap disposed about a shaft of the bale wrap assembly in response to determining the bale wrap is segmented and the weakened section is positioned between the shaft of the bale wrap assembly and the bale;
• and
• control the cutting system to cut the bale wrap in response to determining the bale wrap is continuous and a target section of the bale wrap is positioned at the cutting system.
