A round baler for forming a cylindrical bale includes a frame which is supported on the ground via a chassis, and a housing having a baling means, e.g., baling belts, that defines a baling chamber of variable diameter. The round baler includes a first sensor device for determining a weight of the bale, a second sensor device for determining a diameter of the bale, and a baler controller, by means of which at least a diameter and a weight of a finished bale may be specified. A method for operating the round baler includes controlling the round baler to produce a bale having the pre-selected diameter and weight.

The disclosure relates to a harvester capable of continuous bailing of crop material, particularly to a harvester comprising a crop supply chamber positioned in front of a bale chamber, capable of storing crop material during the wrapping of a bale of harvested crop material, and a conveyor system, capable of transporting crop material into the bale chamber. The crop supply chamber further comprises a supply inlet at the bottom of the crop supply chamber and a movable control plate positioned within the crop supply chamber.

The disclosure relates to a harvester capable of continuous bailing of crop material, particularly to a harvester comprising a crop supply chamber positioned in front of a bale chamber, capable of storing crop material during the wrapping of a bale of harvested crop material, and a deflection system, capable of allowing crop material to enter into the bale chamber. The crop supply chamber further comprises a supply inlet at the bottom of the crop supply chamber and a movable control plate positioned within the crop supply chamber.

A self-propelled residual film recycling integrated machine is provided, which includes a straw crushing device, a picking and impurity cleaning device, a cab, an air intake system, a film removing and conveying device, a round bale baler, a suspension system, a traveling chassis, and a film unloading bracket. The straw crushing device is assembled at a front end of the traveling chassis in a three-point suspension mode, the picking and impurity cleaning device is installed at a belly of the traveling chassis, and the film removing and conveying device is installed diagonally upwards and backwards of the picking and impurity cleaning device. The round bale baler is installed at a tail of the traveling chassis and is behind the film removing and conveying device, the film unloading bracket is installed below the round bale baler, and the suspension system is arranged on the traveling chassis.

A repair, conversion or retrofit kit includes at least two continuously closable replacement baler belts which correspond substantially in their combined width to the width of a continuously closed baler belt to be replaced. The replacement baler belts may be closable in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner by a connecting means, and the connecting means may be at least partially hook connectors. In some embodiments, the repair, conversion or retrofit kit further includes at least one guide means arranged on the round baler such that at least two replacement baler belts each extend laterally with respect to the at least one guide means, and the at least two replacement baler belts are guided laterally with respect to one another. In some cases, the guide means is an auxiliary guide disk arranged on a rotatable shaft of the round baler.

An auxiliary pressure source is provided in the baler hydraulic system of a round baler. During a round bale formation operation and/or during a bale wrapping or tying operation hydraulic pressure provided to the tensioning cylinders of the baler may be periodically boosted above that normally permitted by the high pressure relief valve of the baler hydraulic system.

A take-up or serpentine arm assembly for an agricultural baler, which arm assembly is moveable between a first position corresponding to an empty bale chamber of the baler and a second position corresponding to an at least partially filled bale chamber of the baler. The arm assembly includes a primary arm having a first rotatable roll mounted thereto and a secondary arm having a second rotatable roll mounted thereto. The secondary arm is moveably connected to the primary arm, or vice versa, such that in the first position of the arm assembly, the second rotatable roll is positioned a first distance away from the first rotatable roll, and in the second position of the arm assembly, the second rotatable roll is positioned a second distance away from the first rotatable roll that is less than the first distance.

A baler for forming round bales of crops, includes: a frame providing an internal volume; a feeding unit; a plurality of belts placed side by side in the internal volume; a tensioning system having tensioning arms for applying a tension to the belts so to generate a corresponding pressure on the crops; a control unit; wherein the control unit is connected to the tensioning system and is programmed for automatically setting the tensioning of the belts to a start value, at the bale starting point, and for automatically increasing the tensioning of the belts to reach the tensioning set point responsive to a predetermined swivel angle of the tensioning arms around an articulation point as the arms move upwards.

A system and method for monitoring bale growth rate and mat thickness and controlling baler operations according to the monitoring of bale growth rate and mat thickness. A baler includes sensors and a control system that uses sensor output as input for its processes. The controller is configured to determine a value of a physical attribute in an operation of a baler based on data received from a sensor. Also, the controller is configured to estimate a mat thickness or a bale growth rate based on the determined value of the physical attribute. The controller is also configured to control an operation of the baler or an operation of a tow vehicle, configured to tow the baler, based on the estimated mat thickness or bale growth rate.
