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 is at least partially defined by an angled surface angled relative to the second surface. The angled surface includes an apex positioned away from the opening. The banding system also includes a bander unit configured to move the banding element within the channel to band the crop package.

A mechanism for tying roll bales, which allows tying and protecting the edges of the roll bales during the tying process, ensuring that the geometry thereof is kept throughout time.

A baler including a twine box having a frame and a twine cradle. The twine cradle is for holding one or more spools of twine and is mounted to the frame. The twine cradle is movable between a loading position and an operational position, by way of an intermediate position. In the loading position, a spool of twine can be loaded into the twine cradle. In the operational position, twine is removable from the spool of twine within the twine cradle in order to tie a bale. The twine cradle is movable between the loading position and the intermediate position by a rotational movement about a pivot that defines a horizontal axis of rotation. The twine cradle is movable between the intermediate position and the operational position by a translational movement.

A baler implement includes a first plate defining a first aperture for receiving a twine from a supply of the twine. A second plate defines a second aperture for discharging the twine to a knotter system. An elongated tube includes a first end defining a first opening, a second end defining a second opening, and defines an elongated interior passage extending between the first end and the second end. The first end of the elongated tube is positioned to align the first opening of the elongated tube with the first aperture of the first plate. The second end of the elongated tube is positioned to align the second opening of the elongated tube with the second aperture of the second plate. The elongated tube is shaped to guide the twine through the elongated interior passage thereof between the first aperture and the second aperture.

A twine disk for a mechanical knotter of a hay bailer has four vee shaped V-notches each formed with a hook portion and two substantially straight edge portions to enable tying twine knots with either two strands or with four stands using the same knotter.

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.

A device for braking lines of tying twine, for agricultural machines, of the type of balers, round balers and the like. Such machines are provided with assemblies for typing bales of previously-cut agricultural products, or the type of grass, wheat, maize, hay, forage, and the like. The braking device includes an electronic unit for controlling and managing at least one actuator for moving at least one braking element, which is actuated by the electronic unit by way of the actuator, in order to retain at least partially at least one respective length of at least one line of twine, during its unreeling.

A press guiding device for a baler includes at least one continuous pressing device, at least two pressing segments, and at least one guiding device arranged at least partially between the pressing segments. The at least one guiding device is supported in a rotationally secure manner at or on a common axle with a roller.
