ROTARY HAY WEDGE FOR ROUND BALERS

摘要

A baler (10) with a pickup (13) and a baling chamber (15) with an inlet (14), the bale forming chamber having a first and second side panel, a plurality rollers (20-28) rotatably disposed respectively about parallel axes. A bale edge engaging member (47) is rotatably attached to the frame (12) about an axis of rotation substantially parallel to said axes of the rollers, the bale edge engaging member being disposed adjacent an inside portion of one of the side panels in overlapping arrangement with a bale being formed in the baling chamber at least at times when a bale is being formed. The bale edge engaging member is spaced from the inlet to the bale forming chamber so as to not impede material entering the bale forming chamber from a pickup. Alternate embodiments have the rotatable bale edge engaging member/disc on a fixed axis adjacent the baling chamber when the bale is almost completed.
