Abstract
An agricultural baler includes a bale chamber, a tailgate arranged in a rear section of the bale chamber, and a controller. The tailgate moves between a closed position and an open position to eject a bale from the baler. The controller receives a signal indicating the bale status and, in response to the signal, stops the power take-off (“PTO”) operation of a tractor connected to the baler or restarts the PTO operation.
