A bale wrapper apparatus (10) which comprises: a frame (13); a towbar (14) attached to and projecting forwardly of the frame (13) to enable the apparatus to be towed behind a propelling vehicle (11); an arch structure (15) forming part of said frame (13) and facing in the intended direction of travel, said structure being of sufficient size to allow a bale (12) lying on the ground to pass through the arch (15) when the apparatus (10) is moved forwardly; a bale lifting device (16) mounted on the frame (13) and operative to lift a bale (12) lying on the ground to a bale-wrapping position; means (19) for rotating the bale (12) about a substantially horizontal axis (24) extending generally parallel to the direction of travel when the bale (12) has been lifted to the bale-wrapping position; means (20) for holding a supply reel (29) of stretchable plastics film for wrapping the bale (12); means (21) for causing relative rotation between the supply reel (29) and the bale (12) about a substantially vertical axis (22), while the bale (12) is being rotated about said substantially horizontal axis (24) whereby film can be withdrawn from the reel (29) to apply successive overlapping windings to the bale (12) in order to wrap the latter; and, means (16, 17, 19) operative to allow discharge of the wrapped bale rearwardly of the apparatus. |
