A scraper strip for a scraper device including at least one adjusting disk positioned in a recess of the scraper strip and rotatably attached to a scraper strip support, the adjusting disk comprising an eccentric guide track, which extends in a spiral shape or at least approximately as a circle involute, from a region at least close to a center point of the at least one adjusting disk in the direction of an edge region of the adjusting disk, and so as to linearly displace the scraper strip with respect to the scraper strip support of the scraper device when the adjusting disk is rotated. A fastener is accommodated by a groove extending substantially in a displacement direction of the scraper strip such that the scraper strip is displaced with respect to the fastener.

An open throat intake for a baler, includes a pickup unit with tines for picking up crop material from the ground and carrying the crop material towards a lower roller located across a baler inlet. Above the lower roller is an upper roller both of which include auger fighting on outward sides thereof, which can overlap with the inlet. In use the contra-rotating flightings, by cooperation with a retainer plate, urge material carried from outside edges of the pick up unit toward the baler inlet which is generally narrower than the pick up unit. Gripping ribs provide a compressive in-feed function when large volumes of material are to be processed.

An improved belt tensioning system for an agricultural round baler that increases belt tension to reduce slippage between the belts and the driving rolls during the initial stage of a bale forming cycle when the bale chamber is empty and as the belts are beginning to be rolled. The system includes an accumulator that is pressurized by the tensioning system as a bale is being formed. The accumulator pressure may then be directed to a hydraulic cylinder included in a bale density system to increase tension in the belts after a completed bale is ejected and the bale chamber is being reset for the next bale.

A baler apparatus has a cylindrical bale-forming chamber defined by a set of compression elements positioned around the circumference of the bale-forming chamber, and drive means configured to drive rotary movement of the compression elements. At least one of the rotary compression elements is configured to provide a reduced level of traction relative to a bale in the bale chamber, as compared to at least the majority of the other rotary compression elements.

An end cap for a spreader roll has a base portion and a pin portion, wherein the pin portion inserts into a bearing mechanism to allow the material spread roll to rotate. The base portion includes a mechanism to prevent wrapping material stretched by the material spread roll from reaching the bearing mechanism.

A module wrapping assembly for a module builder having a first roller rotationally coupled to the module builder about a first axis, a bracket pivotally coupled to the module builder about a bracket axis, and a second roller rotationally coupled to the bracket about a second axis. Wherein, the second axis is offset from the bracket axis. Further wherein, the bracket is pivotable about the bracket axis to reposition the second axis relative to the first axis.
