Baling apparatus ( 1 ) for forming a bale ( 2 ) of grass, hay, straw or the like and for wrapping the bale ( 2 ) in non-perforated plastics sheet wrapping material ( 64, 71 ) comprises a chassis ( 10 ), a baler ( 16 ) mounted on the chassis ( 10 ) within which the bale ( 2 ) is formed, and a pair of bale supporting rollers ( 54, 55 ) on which the bale is supported and rotated during wrapping. An upper segment ( 21 ) and a lower segment ( 22 ) of the baler ( 16 ) are pivotal upwardly for transferring a bale from the baler ( 16 ) to the bale supporting rollers ( 54, 55 ). A first dispenser ( 63 ) and a holding mechanism ( 65 ) extend wrapping material ( 64 ) across a discharge opening ( 40 ) through which the bale ( 2 ) is transferred from the baler ( 16 ) so that as the bale is being transferred onto the bale supporting rollers ( 54, 55 ), wrapping sheet material ( 64 ) is drawn from the first dispenser ( 63 ) around approximately 180° of the circumferential surface ( 5 ) of the bale ( 2 ) and extends around corner edges ( 8 ) of the bale ( 2 ). The bale supporting rollers ( 54, 55 ) rotate the bale ( 2 ) for wrapping an appropriate number of turns of the wrapping material ( 64 ) around the circumferential surface ( 5 ) of the bale ( 2 ), and a carrier ring member ( 74 ) which carries second dispensers ( 72, 73 ) revolves the second dispensers ( 72, 73 ) about the bale ( 2 ) while the bale ( 2 ) is being rotated by the bale supporting rollers ( 54, 55 ) for wrapping of the bale ( 2 ) with wrapping material ( 71 ) from the second dispensers ( 72, 73 ). A bale wrapper is also disclosed.
