A square baler comprising a first bale-forming area in which are formed a first series of first individual bales, and a second bale-forming area in which are formed a second series of second individual bales. The square baler additionally comprises a singulator configured to receive the first and second individual bales from the first and second bale-forming areas and to form a single row of the first and second individual bales.

A tractor has a controller and at least one sensor-for sensing at least one swath line of crop material corresponding to a quantity of crop material per unit length of a swath. The controller operates in dependence on at least one output of the at least one sensor to operate a steering mechanism of the tractor such that a baler towed by the tractor follows a said swath line in a manner aligning ingestion of crop material into the baler for baling. The at least one sensor is operable to sense a swath line that is laterally offset from the direction of forward movement of the tractor.

An agricultural baler with a pre-compression chamber configured to introduce a slice towards a baling chamber. The baling chamber includes a plunger provided for reciprocally moving in the baling chamber, the reciprocal movement having a power movement. In use, during the power movement, slices of crop material are compressed into a bale and the bale is pushed through the baling chamber. The baling chamber further includes at least one movable wall for exercising a compression force to the crop material in a direction transverse to the propelling movement so that, in use, the at least one movable wall provides a counter pressure for the propelling through the baling chamber of the bale. The agricultural baler further includes a controller adapted to influence a compression force of the at least one movable wall at a predetermined moment of the power movement to reduce the counter pressure.

An agricultural system includes: a frame; a control system operatively coupled with the frame, the control system including: at least one sensor configured for: detecting remotely at least one operative condition of a bale of a crop material after the bale has been ejected from a bale chamber of a baler; outputting at least one operative condition signal corresponding to the at least one operative condition; a controller system operatively coupled with the at least one sensor and configured for: receiving the at least one operative condition signal; determining at least one operative parameter based at least in part on the at least one operative condition signal, the at least one operative parameter being associated with a performance of the baler.

An agricultural machine system includes: a first mechanism; and an agricultural machine including a machine frame; a control system operatively coupled with the first mechanism and the agricultural machine frame, the control system including: a controller system operatively coupled with the first mechanism and the agricultural machine and configured for: learning from a prior harvesting episode; determining a first mechanism adjustment signal based at least in part on the prior harvesting episode; and outputting the first mechanism adjustment signal so as to adjust the first mechanism.

A high capacity square baler including a pickup mechanism configured to pick up a single windrow of crop material off the ground. The baler additionally includes one or more stuffer chutes each configured to receive at least a portion of the crop material picked up by the pickup mechanism. The baler additionally includes one or more stuffer assemblies each configured to push crop generally upward through one of the stuffer chutes. The baler further includes a plurality of separate bale-forming chambers each configured to receive crop material from one or more of the stuffer chutes and to form a bale of crop material therein.

A square baler including a pickup mechanism configured to pick up crop material from a single windrow on the ground, and a rotor configured to receive crop material picked up by the pickup mechanism. The rotor includes a first toothed section, a second toothed section, and an interior auger flighted section located between the first toothed section and the section toothed section. The rotor is configured to separate crop material into two streams of crop material.

A rectangular baler having a wall positioning system. The baler having a bale chamber which includes a plurality of walls including a movable wall section. The wall positioning system includes a positioner for moving the movable wall section from a first position to a second position. The positioner is configured for applying pressure to a first pressure point and to a second pressure point on the movable wall section such that the second position of the movable wall section is substantially parallel to the first position of the movable wall section. The first pressure point and the second pressure point are spaced apart along a longitudinal direction of the bale chamber.

An apparatus for continuously forming round bales of forage material, and particularly round bales with compressed side walls, from windrowed harvested lines of forage, the apparatus including a continuous pickup, a continuous rotary chopper, an accumulation chamber with a compressed and chopped forage material entry slot and a decompressing exit slot plus a standard form intermittent round baler.

A square baler comprising a gear box configured to receive power from a rotating power source. The baler additionally comprises first and second drive shaft sections extending outwardly from generally opposite sides of the gear box. The gear box is configured to rotate said first and second drive shaft sections using power from the rotating power source. The baler further comprises first and second reciprocating plungers respectively coupled to the first and second drive shaft sections in a manner such that rotation of the first drive shaft section causes reciprocation of the first plunger and rotation of the second drive shaft section causes reciprocation of the second plunger.
