Abstract
A baler with a bale pressing chamber for agricultural stalk materials is connected with a wrapping device comprising a wrapping table for the enveloping of a bale with foil via at least one support frame carried by a chassis, between the baler and the wrapping device at least one actively driven bale transfer device for the transfer of the finished bale from the bale pressing chamber to the wrapping table of the wrapping device is present, and as a function of the inclination of the baler and/or the wrapping device to the perpendicular the operational sequence of the transfer of the bale from the bale pressing chamber to the wrapping device is controlled.
Claims12
A baler system, comprising a baler having a bale pressing chamber for agricultural stalk materials;
- a wrapping device connected with the baler and having a wrapping table for wrapping of a bale with foil;
- at least one actively driven bale transfer device for transfer of a finished bale from the bale pressing chamber of the baler to the wrapping table of the wrapping device;
- control means configured so that as a function of an inclination of an apparatus selected from the group consisting of the baler, the wrapping device, and both to a plane, an operational sequence of the transfer of the bale from the bale pressing chamber to the wrapping device is controlled;
- and at least one guide element arranged laterally, at one side with respect to a direction that is transverse to a travelling direction, in a transfer region of the bale from the bale pressing chamber, which at least one guide element is swivelable about an axis of rotation transverse to the travelling direction, from a position of rest into a working position, directly or indirectly through a member selected from the group consisting of a tail flap, the bale, and both, to laterally hold the bale upon leaving the bale pressing chamber.
