The present invention relates to a windguard assembly for use with an agricultural baler (2), the assembly comprising a guide channel (30), a carriage (40) with a base element (42) for displacement within the guide channel, a windguard frame element (60) supported by the carriage and a crop material hold down element (70) supported frame element. In a working position the guide channel is secured to a lower side of a baler frame and free ends of the frame element are secured to a pick up housing forming part of the agricultural baler. In the event of a blockage within the pick up apparatus, or to allow access for maintenance of the pick up apparatus, the free ends of the frame element may be disconnected from the pick up housing allowing frame element together with the crop material hold down element to be displaced away from the pick up apparatus.
A windguard assembly for use with an agricultural baler, the windguard assembly comprising a guide channel for connection to an agricultural baler, a carriage for displacement within the guide channel, a windguard frame element supported by the carriage and a crop material hold down element pivotally supported from the windguard frame element about a pivot axis wherein the guide channel includes L-shaped flanges adapted to support the carriage and allow for displacement of the carriage within the guide channel.
