Claims20
An agricultural system, comprising:
- a baling system configured to form a bale of crop material within a baling chamber of the baling system;
- and
- an accumulator positioned laterally outward from the baling chamber, wherein the accumulator overlaps the baling chamber with respect to a longitudinal axis of the agricultural system, the accumulator is adjustable between an open position and a closed position, and the baling system is configured to receive the crop material from the accumulator.
An agricultural system, comprising:
- a baling system configured to form a bale of crop material within a baling chamber of the baling system;
- and
- an accumulating system comprising an accumulator and a transporting system, wherein the accumulator is positioned laterally outward from the baling chamber, the accumulator overlaps the baling chamber with respect to a longitudinal axis of the agricultural system, the accumulator is adjustable between an open position and a closed position, and the transporting system is configured to direct the crop material from the accumulator to the baling system while the accumulator is in the open position.
An agricultural system, comprising:
- a baling system configured to form a bale of crop material within a baling chamber of the baling system;
- a first accumulator positioned laterally outward from the baling chamber, wherein the first accumulator overlaps the baling chamber with respect to a longitudinal axis of the agricultural system, and the baling system is configured to receive the crop material from the first accumulator;
- and
- a control system communicatively coupled to the first accumulator, wherein the control system is configured to output a first signal to cause the first accumulator to move between a first open position and a first closed position.
