The invention relates to a binding apparatus (10) for a baling press (1), having a needle rocker (11) having a plurality of binding needles (12) for supplying a binding means to a pressing channel (3), wherein the needle rocker (11) can be driven by means of a motorized drive (40) in such a manner that it moves relative to a frame (2) of the baling press (1) in accordance with a binding cycle, and having a brake apparatus (15) which is configured to apply a braking force (F) which acts at least indirectly on the needle rocker (11). In order to enable an efficient and precise guiding of a needle rocker, there is provision according to the invention for the binding apparatus (10) to be configured in such a manner that the braking force (F) is automatically varied in accordance with at least one parameter relating to the binding apparatus (10).

Compactor (100) suitable for compacting and wrapping bulk material and suitable for transportation on public roads. The compactor comprises a bunker (200) for reception of the bulk material to be compacted. The bunker (200) exhibits a front end adjacent to a baler unit (300), and a rear end facing the supply of bulk material. The compactor (100) exhibits a longitudinal axis (L) coinciding with the transport direction of the compactor (100) on a road. The bunker (200) comprises two substantially mirror-symmetric foldable first (201A) and second (201B) bunker section mounted to a frame (207) in a pivotal manner in a vertical direction about a horizontal axis extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (L). An end plate (205A; 205B) is mounted pivotal at the rear of the bunker (200) serving as anchoring means and bulk collector means. The first and second bunker sections (201A; 201B) are mounted mutually displaced to the frame (207) to enable one bunker section (201B) to be inserted into the other bunker section (201A) to reduce width and volume before transport of the compactor (100) on public roads.

A system is configured to prepare and band a crop package. The system includes an agricultural baler configured to move relative to a surface. The agricultural baler includes a formation chamber configured to form the crop package into a substantially cylindrical shape. The agricultural baler also includes a banding mechanism configured to band the crop package within the formation chamber in the cylindrical shape with a first banding element. The system also includes a mobile reconfiguration and bander assembly configured to move relative to the surface. The reconfiguration and bander assembly is configured to form the cylindrical shaped crop package into a substantially different shape and to band the crop package in the different shape with a second banding element.

A banding system for an agricultural baler is configured to move a banding element around a crop package to band the crop package. The banding system includes a support member having a support surface configured to support the crop package. The support member includes a channel defined by an opening in the support surface. The channel is further defined by a first surface opposite a second surface and a third surface extending between the first and second surfaces. The first surface at least partially defines an angled surface tapering toward the second surface such that an apex of the angled surface partially forms the opening. The banding system also includes a bander unit configured to move a banding element within the channel to band the crop package.
