An image-based position assessment method is performed in conjunction with a mechanism onboard an agricultural machine and containing a traveling component. In embodiments, the method includes receiving, at an image processing system, camera images captured by a diagnostic camera mounted to the agricultural machine. A field of view of the diagnostic camera at least partially encompasses an intended motion path along which the traveling component is configured to travel. The image processing system analyzes the camera images to determine whether a recorded time-dependent component position of the traveling component deviates excessively from an expected time-dependent component position of the traveling component, as taken along the intended motion path. The image processing further generates, or causes generation of, a first notification on a display device indicating that a positional adjustment to the traveling component is recommended if the recorded time-dependent component position deviates excessively from the expected time-dependent component position.

A tying device for an agricultural crop press has a drive unit for driving the tying device and a work unit for processing crop which is switchable from a coupled state, in which it is coupled to the drive unit and driven, into a decoupled state, in which it is not coupled to the drive unit and not driven. The work unit has a pawl and the drive unit has a coupling device with which the work unit and the drive unit are operatively connectable. The coupling device interacts in the coupled state of the work unit with the pawl. The drive unit has an electromagnetically acting switch that is switchable reversibly from an inactive into an active state and that is configured to trigger or to terminate the operative connection of the coupling device with the pawl. An agricultural crop press is provided with such a tying device.

The bale wrapping assembly for a round baler includes at least one twine inserter coupled to a drive. The drive is configured to drive the at least one twine inserter along a movement trajectory to intermittently introduce one or more twines into an outer circumferential surface of a completed bale. The one or more twines are positioned at the at least one twine inserter.

A baler includes: a bale forming channel, a reciprocating plunger configured to compress bale material in the bale forming channel to form a bale, and a binding system for binding a bale in the bale forming channel with a pair of twines that pass around opposite sides of the bale. The binding system includes a knotter that includes a rotary bill hook, a twine holder, a twine cutter and a stripper element. The bill hook includes a catching element that is configured to adopt an open configuration to release a retained twine from the bill hook after a knot formed by the knotter is removed from the bill hook by the stripper element, so that the cut end of the twine is not pulled through the knot. The catching element is moved to the open configuration by an opening element that acts against the resilient biasing element, without rotating the bill hook beyond the second position.

A baling press for baling cotton gin trash and other particulate biomass feedstock. The baling press generally includes an infeed chute assembly, a compression ram assembly, an extrusion chamber assembly, a strapping storage and dispensing assembly, and a strapping insertion assembly. The present invention also relates to methods of producing a bale with the baling press and a bale generated by the baling press and described methods.
