1. An assembly for forming cylindrical or round bales of the type in which the crop products which are fed in the form of a layer to a bale forming chamber by means of a pick-up apparatus or equivalent apparatus are subjected within said chamber to a rolling action under the effect of positively driven belts or bands to form a cylindrical or round bale by said layer of crop product being rolled around itself, characterised in that is comprises, in a tandem arrangement, two elementary cylindrical bale presses (1, 2) which are coupled one behind the other, per se known means (22, 26) provided on the front bale press (1) of the tandem coupling to displace at least the pick-up apparatus (28) of said press between an operating position in which it picks up the crop products in a windrow resting on the ground, and a raised position in which it passes over said crop products in a windrow without picking them up, and means (29) connected to said front press of the tandem coupling for laterally discharging the bales (42) formed in said front press (1) after binding thereof. |
