Round bale ground placement orientation during baler ejection
12310291 · 2025-05-27 · ·

A baler implement includes a baling chamber. A wrap system wraps a wrap material around a bale within the baling chamber. A wrap sensor detects data related to a position of a tail end of the wrap material on the bale. A bale transfer device pushes the bale away during ejection from the baler implement. A baler controller determines a position of the tail end of the wrap material on the bale within the baling chamber, and initiates the ejection sequence to eject the bale onto a ground surface. The baler controller controls the bale transfer device based on the position of the tail end of the wrap material, such that the bale comes to rest with at least a minimum length of the wrap material extending between the tail end of the wrap material and a ground contact location disposed nearest the tail end of the wrap material.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor network for a work machine
12354414 · 2025-07-08 · ·

An agricultural work machine, an agricultural work machine control system, and method for an agricultural work machine having Bluetooth enabled RFID tags to determine a fault condition of machine components, devices, parts or systems. The Bluetooth enabled RFID tags are located on, at, or near machine components or systems to sense a temperature of those components or systems. The Bluetooth enabled RFID tags are interrogated to determine sensed temperatures and component identifiers. A controller receives the temperatures and component identifiers and compares the received temperatures to a threshold to determine whether a fault condition exists. If so, the controller transmits an alert signal to a user interface to indicate that a fault condition exists with an identified component, part, device, or system.

A sprocket adjuster for adjusting a sprocket of a chain drive includes a bearing journal, which includes a free end and a fixed end, a rotary bearing arranged on the bearing journal, and a sprocket guided on the rotary bearing. The bearing journal has a first external thread region and a second external thread region, wherein a threaded nut is arranged on each of the external thread regions and by means of which the rotary bearing is clamped on the bearing journal between the external thread regions.

Bale wrapping system

A bale wrapping system includes a bale chamber configured to receive agricultural product and a belt configured to be disposed within the bale chamber. The belt is configured to be positioned between a bale wrap and an interior surface of the bale chamber while the belt is disposed within the bale chamber. Additionally, the belt is configured to support the bale wrap and to move into the bale chamber due to a weight of the agricultural product on the bale wrap. Further, the belt is configured to compact the agricultural product within the bale wrap, such that a bale of the agricultural product at least partially surrounded by the bale wrap is formed within the bale chamber.
