A baling roller for a round agricultural baler includes a roller body with a jacket surface, which encloses the circumference and the length of the roller body. Furthermore, radially extending elevations are located, on the jacket surface, over the circumference and the length of the roller body. In order to optimize the pressing effect of the baling roller, the elevations on the jacket surface have a greater radial extension on the end areas of the roller body than in an area of the roller body, lying between the end areas.

A round baler is provided with a bale-forming chamber that is surrounded by a pressing apparatus in the form of a single pressing belt or several pressing belts arranged one next to the other, wherein the pressing apparatus contacts a roller that can be driven and freely co-rotating rollers, of which at least one pre-tensioned roller is loaded by pre-tensioning apparatus in the sense of tightening the pressing apparatus such that it pre-tensions the pre-tensioned roller more strongly the farther this roller moves in a direction for loosening the pressing apparatus. The two ends of the pre-tensioned roller are each pre-tensioned by the pre-tensioning apparatus and can move independently of each other.

The present disclosure generally relates to an end cap for a roller, and specifically to an end cap for a material spread roll in a harvester. The end cap comprises a base portion and a pin portion, wherein the pin portion inserts into a bearing mechanism to allow the material spread roll to rotate, and wherein the base portion comprises several mechanism to prevent wrapping material stretched by the material spread roll from reaching the bearing mechanism.

A round baler includes a bale-forming chamber with a belt assembly for rolling a bale, the assembly includes a plurality of parallel side-by-side belts trained about rollers transverse to the belts, wherein the rollers have a shaft with a plurality of belt-driving sleeves mounted thereon. The belt-driving sleeves have a circumferential groove and the belts have a longitudinal protrusion to track the belt in the groove of the belt-driving sleeve.

A mat leveling system for a conveying system of an agricultural harvester includes a first outlet roller configured to support a first belt of a pair of opposing belts. The mat leveling system also includes a second outlet roller configured to support a second belt of the pair of opposing belts. Furthermore, the mat leveling system includes a first mounting assembly configured to enable movement of the first outlet roller relative to the second outlet roller and to urge the first outlet roller toward the second belt to reduce variations in a thickness of a mat of agricultural product, a second mounting assembly configured to enable movement of the second outlet roller relative to the first outlet roller and to urge the second outlet roller toward the first belt to reduce the variations in the thickness of the mat of the agricultural product, or a combination thereof.

A baler apparatus includes a cylindrical bale-forming chamber defined by a set of compression elements positioned around the circumference of the bale-forming chamber, and a drive mechanism configured to drive rotary movement of the compression elements. At least one of the rotary compression elements is configured to provide a reduced level of traction relative to a bale in the bale chamber, as compared to at least a majority of the other rotary compression elements.

An agricultural baler pivot assembly having: a tailgate pin extending along a rotation axis and having a tailgate pin bore extending along the rotation axis, a first outer face portion extending along the rotation axis and a second outer face portion extending along the rotation axis; a tailgate bushing configured to receive and rotationally support the outer face of the tailgate pin; an arm pin having a respective first outer face portion extending along the rotation axis and a respective second outer face portion extending along the rotation axis; and an arm pin bushing configured to fit radially between the tailgate pin bore and the first outer face portion of the arm pin and support the arm pin for rotational motion relative to the tailgate pin about the rotation axis. Agricultural balers including a pivot assembly and methods for assembling the pivot assembly are also provided.

An agricultural baler assembly having: a frame; a tailgate pivotally connected to the frame at a tailgate pivot and movable about the tailgate pivot between a closed tailgate position and an open tailgate position, wherein the tailgate and the frame define a bale chamber when the tailgate is in the closed tailgate position; a pivot roller fixed concentric to the tailgate pivot; and a belt wrapped around the pivot roller with the pivot roller between a portion of the belt wrapped around the pivot roller and the bale chamber. Methods for operating an agricultural baler are also provided.

A scraper strip for a scraper device including at least one rotatable adjusting means for linearly displacing the scraper strip with respect to a scraper strip support of a scraper device, wherein the scraper strip has at least one guide groove extending substantially in the displacement direction of the scraper strip, the guide groove can accommodate a stationary guide means such that the scraper strip can be displaced with respect to the guide means.

A belt-roller arrangement with a deflecting roller and an endless flexible belt and a method for guiding such a belt over such a roller are disclosed. The roller body of the roller includes two deformable roller body segments and a rigid roller body segment part which isin an axial directionpositioned between these two deformable segments. The belt is entirely guided over the central rigid segment part and at least partially over both deformable segments. The belt run is automatically corrected.
