RFID Spacing for Small Square Bale Aggregates
20240040967 · 2024-02-08 ·

A method of storing information corresponding to crop material formed into a bale during a baling process for an aggregation of bales. Crop material is formed into a bale with the baler to obtain a formed bale. At least one parameter of the crop material or formed bale is detected with at least one crop sensor and/or bale sensor for the formed bale. The baler is provided with binding material from the binding material roll comprising identification tags at spaced intervals along the binding material. The formed bale is bound with the binding material using the knotter system such that an identification tag is applied to the bale to obtain a tagged bale. A bale ID is created for the tagged bale and the sensor parameter for the tagged bale is associated with the bale ID. Further crop material is formed into at least one additional bale with the baler to obtain at least one additional formed bale. The at least one additional formed bale is bound with the binding material such that an identification tag is not applied to the at least one additional formed bale to obtain at least one non-tagged bale. The at least one non-tagged bale is associated with the tagged bale and the tagged and non-tagged bales are formed into a bale aggregate.

Knotter system for a baler
20190335671 · 2019-11-07 ·

A knotter system for a baler includes a needle and a tucker arm for delivering a needle twine and tucker twine respectively, a twine receiver for holding the needle and the tucker twine, a billhook assembly including a billhook with a lower and an upper lip being mounted rotatably around an axis and being arranged for receiving the needle and the tucker twine, a twine finger for guiding the twine. Further, a driver is foreseen to make the billhook perform a first full rotation during the first knot forming cycle and a second full rotation during the second knot forming cycle. The knotter system is configured such that, at the end of the second knot forming cycle, a bale movement of a bale in the baler exerts a pulling force on the twines which removes the twines from the billhook.

MATERIAL WRAP SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC DRIVE TENSION COMPENSATION
20190274255 · 2019-09-12 ·

A system for wrapping a material in a baler includes a feed element for feeding the material through a feed path. A drive element intermittently drives the feed element. A linking element couples the drive element with the feed element. A tensioning lever operates to vary tension on the linking element to intermittently drive or not drive the feed element. A knife mechanism operates to intersect the feed path to cut the material. An actuator is engageable with the tensioning lever and with the knife mechanism. The actuator operates to move the tensioning lever and the knife mechanism independent of one another.
