PROCEDURE AND APPARATUS FOR WRAPPING A FODDER BALE WITH PLASTIC

摘要

The invention relates to a procedure for wrapping a straw fodder bale in plastic. A wrapping unit (3) is hitched to a baler (2) and the fodder bale (19) to be wrapped is delivered after the baling directly onto a wrapping table (10), whereupon plastic material is wrapped around the bale. After being wrapped up, the bale is removed from the wrapping table. To allow a bale to be taken up onto the wrapping table, the wrapping table is moved towards the rear of the baler by pulling an extension bar (6) into the drawbar (4) of the wrapping unit.
