AGRICULTURAL BALER WITH INDEPENDENT TENSIONING ARMS
A bale chamber for an agricultural baler includes a plurality of rolls; a plurality of belts wrapped around the rolls; a movable serpentine arm in contact with the belts and configured to move responsively to lifting by at least one of the belts; and a plurality of tensioning arms, each of the tensioning arms being forced against a respective one of the belts and independently movable relative to the other tensioning arms. Each tensioning arm is configured to move against and reduce slack in its respective belt as the serpentine arm moves out of contact with its respective belt.

Material wrap system with self cleaning feature
A system for wrapping a material around a bale in a baler includes a feed system to direct the material through a feed path. A knife mechanism with a fixed knife and a counter-knife alternately cuts the material, and moves out of the feed path for feed of the material. The feed system includes a roll element configured to direct the material between the fixed knife and the counter-knife when the counter-knife is moved out of the feed path. A cylindrical brush rotates freely and is disposed between the roll element and the knife mechanism, the brush having a cylindrical shape. The brush is configured to remove debris when rotated.

ROUND BALER
A round baler includes a housing which has a housing part and an ejection flap which is pivotably mounted on this housing part about a bearing axis, and drivable pressing means which are allocated to the housing part and the ejection flap and which define a pressing chamber on the peripheral side, wherein the ejection flap is adjustable by means of a first adjusting apparatus such that when the ejection flap is opened an ejection opening is able to be formed between the housing part and the ejection flap and a dimension of the ejection flap is adjustable. The housing part comprises a retaining roller. The retaining roller is arranged so as to be adjustable between a resting position and a working position in which the retaining roller adopts a position disposed within the ejection opening.

ROUND BALER CROP DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
A baler includes a housing forming a baling chamber. The baling chamber includes an inlet defining an inlet width. The inlet width extends substantially across the baling chamber, between a first lateral side and a second lateral side. A crop distributor defines a distributor width and includes a forward end and a rearward end. The distributor width is substantially less than the inlet width. One of the baling chamber and the crop distributor is moveable relative to the other of the baling chamber and the crop distributor, such that the rearward end of the crop distributor is laterally moveable, relative to the inlet of the baling chamber, between the first lateral side and the second lateral side. Lateral movement of the rearward end of the crop distributor relative to the baling chamber distributes the cut crop material across the inlet width of the baling chamber.

Round baler press roll with a uniform cylindrical portion
A round baler for forming a bale of residual product includes a baling chamber, a plurality of press rolls mounted within the baling chamber, and at least one driving bar associated with at least one of the plurality of press rolls. The driving bar extends at least partially along the length of at least one of the plurality of press rolls. The round baler further includes at least one cylindrical portion defined partially along the length of the at least one of the plurality of press rolls. The at least one cylindrical portion is arranged to compensate for a radial extension of the at least one driving bar to define a uniform surface.
