Claims26
A bale set-down system for setting down bales from an agricultural baling press onto a field, the system comprising means for setting down at least one bale in a direct vicinity of at least one bale that has already been placed on a ground, wherein said means is formed so as to provide dynamic adaptation of a bale set-down path on the field, wherein said means is formed so that the bales are set down in a manner selected from the group consisting of setting down within a bale corridor, setting down in bale groups, and both, and wherein said means is operative so that a width of the bale corridor and an expansion of the bale groups depends on a bale path;
- and further comprising at least one transmitting unit and at least one receiving unit for receiving data, so that said means determine a bale set-down path as a function of data stored in said receiving unit and stores positions of the set-down bales.
A method of setting down bales from an agricultural baling press onto a field, comprising the steps of setting down at least one bale on a ground;
- setting down at least another further bale in a direct vicinity of said at least one bale that has already been placed on the ground, wherein said setting down include dynamic adaptation of a bale set down path on a field, and setting down the bales in a manner selected from the group consisting of a setting down within a bale corridor, a setting down in bale groups, and both;
- assigning at least one transmitting unit and receiving unit for receiving data;
- determining a bale set-down path as a function of data stored in the receiving unit and storing positions of the set-down bales;
- and selecting a width of the bale corridor and expansion of the bale groups depending on a bale path.
