A roll assembly, which may be included in an agricultural baler, includes: a first roll having a first roll surface with a plurality of first extensions extending therefrom, the first extensions defining a first rotation path when rotated; and a second roll having a second roll surface with a plurality of second extensions extending therefrom, the second extensions defining a second rotation path when rotated. The first roll and the second roll are disposed adjacent to one another such that the first rotation path and the second rotation path partially overlap. At least one roll driver is coupled to at least one of the first roll or the second roll and configured to rotate the first roll and the second roll in the rotation direction such that the first extensions and the second extensions do not collide with each other during rotation of the first roll and the second roll.

A baling chamber for an agricultural baler includes: a plurality of sidewalls defining a volume, one of the sidewalls having a roll opening formed therein; a plurality of belts disposed within the volume; a sledge assembly including at least one roll that is pivotable within the volume, the at least one roll having an exterior portion that extends out of the volume through the roll opening and a bearing disposed outside of the volume and associated with the exterior portion; and a drive assembly disposed outside of the volume, coupled to the exterior portion, and configured to rotate the at least one roll.

A round baler includes a first roller and a second roller that define a gap therebetween and are arranged to position forming belts immediately adjacent to a baling chamber. A third roller is arranged to position the forming belts radially outward of the baling chamber. The forming belts move along a belt path in sequence from the first roller, to the third roller, and then to the second roller, such that the baling chamber is not bounded by the forming belts in the gap between the first roller and the second roller. A net guide is radially supported by both the first roller and the second roller and laterally positioned between an adjacent pair of the forming belts. The net guide extends across the gap to guide a net material across the gap and prevent the net material from following the forming belts away from the baling chamber.

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.

A baler for forming a bale of crop material includes a plurality of walls defining a bale chamber. A drive roller and a plurality of idler rollers are disposed in the bale chamber. At least one baling belt contacts the drive roller and the plurality of idler rollers. A bale engagement roller is rotatable about a bale engagement roller axis. The bale engagement roller is positioned to directly engage crop material in the bale chamber. An actuator is coupled to the bale engagement roller. The actuator translates the bale engagement roller in a direction perpendicular to the bale engagement roller axis.

A feeding mechanism for a crop baler having a leaf forming chute, quick feeding mechanism, hay guides, hay gates, hay leaf divider drum and a control mechanism to stop and start the rotation of the divider drum. The leaf forming chute guides the crop from the packing crank to the middle of the bale chamber. The quick feeding device moves hay from the divider drum to the compression area above or below the compression roller. A control devise stops and starts the rotation of the divider drum causing an equal amount of hay to be placed in the top of the bale as compared to the bottom of the bale. The same control devise to stop the rotation of the divider drum and to stop the movement of hay to the compression area during the tying cycle.

A bale chamber of an agricultural round baler. The bale chamber includes a main frame, a plurality of rollers, and at least one belt engaging with at least one roller of the plurality of rollers. The at least one belt and the plurality of rollers are together configured for creating a round circulating chamber. The bale chamber also includes a subframe movably connected to the main frame and at least one follower roller pivotally connected to the subframe at a first pivot axis. The at least one follower roller engages with the at least one belt. The subframe is configured for moving during formation of the bale so that the at least one follower roller moves in between a first position at the empty bale position of the circulating chamber and a second position at the full bale position of the circulating chamber.

A round bale or module building assembly with a frame having a first wall and a second wall separated from one another by a module width and a plurality of rollers positioned between the first wall and the second wall, the plurality of rollers defining at least one belt path. Wherein, at least two rollers of the plurality of rollers have a combined width configured to substantially span the module width.

Steered caster wheel systems that include a disengagement system to enable a caster wheel steering mode and non-caster wheel steering mode are disclosed. In some embodiments, the caster wheels are mounted to a subframe that may be independently suspended from the chassis of a vehicle such as a self-propelled vehicle.

Disclosed herein is a wrap material feed system of a round baler for forming crop material into a cylindrical bale. The wrap material feed system comprises a first roller, a second roller, a bale formation belt, and a feed pan oriented from a first end adjacent the first roller to a second end adjacent the second roller and a feed pan positioning mechanism oriented to bias the feed pan into engagement with each of the first and second rollers and the bale formation belt. The feed pan comprises one or more runners, at least one guide plate, one or more skid plates, and one or more fasteners comprising a fastener head. The fastener head is positioned at the second end such that a vector representing a first normal force at the second roller intersects the fastener head.
