Bale bagging apparatus

摘要

An apparatus for loading a row of round bales into an elongated plastic bag includes a front frame for bearing against the front end of the row of bales, and a rear frame which is placed at the rear end of the row of bales. The rear frame includes a chute for guiding the bales into a bag mounted on a cylinder, which is pivotally mounted on the rear frame, and a pair of skids with pulleys on the front ends thereof. The ends of a cable are connected to the sides of the front frame, and the cable extends rearwardly around the pulleys on the rear frame and then forwardly to a towing vehicle. Forward movement of the vehicle causes movement of the rear frame towards the front frame, whereby the chute moves beneath the bales and the bag is moved forwardly around the bales.
