Abstract
An agricultural system for wrapping bales includes a baling device to form a cylindrical bale in a baling chamber, and a wrapping device to wrap the bale in wrapping material. The wrapping device includes a wrapping table to support the bale during wrapping, as well as a wrapping mechanism, and a transfer device to transfer a bale ejected from the baling chamber to the wrapping table. The transfer device includes a pivotable support to support a bale. The pivotable support is at least pivotable between a receive position to receive a bale from the baling chamber, and a release position, wherein the bale is released on the wrapping table.
Claims14
An agricultural system comprising:
- a baling device comprising bale forming mechanism to form a cylindrical bale in a baling chamber,
- a wrapping device to wrap the bale in wrapping material, the wrapping device comprising a wrapping table to support the bale during wrapping and a wrapping mechanism, and
- a transfer device to transfer the bale ejected from the baling chamber to the wrapping table,
- wherein the transfer device comprises a pivotable support to support the bale, which pivotable support is at least pivotable between a receive position to receive the bale from the baling chamber, and a release position, wherein the bale is released on the wrapping table;
- and
- wherein the wrapping mechanism comprises one or more movable parts to be rotated during wrapping along a trajectory around the bale supported on the wrapping table, wherein the pivotable support, when placed in the receive position, is at least partially located in the trajectory of the one or more movable parts, and wherein the pivotable support may be arranged in a wrapping position, wherein the pivotable support is located outside the trajectory of the one or more movable parts.
