A round baler with bale forming means in the form of a plurality of endless flexible members (48) interconnected by a plurality of transverse slats (22) each of which at one point in its movement at least partially supports the bale as it is being formed. A rotor (16) around which the endless flexible members (48) are guided is provided with a plurality of longitudinaliy-extending pockets (97) equispaced around the periphery thereof and operable to receive the slats (22) as the flexible members are guided therearound, the rotor (16) and the or each slat (22) disposed at any given instant in a rotor pocket (97) presenting a generally continuous, smooth support surface (101) for the bale being formed, whereby the bale is at least partially supported without being subjected by the slats to excessive vibration as a result.
