Device for binding a rolled bale of windrowed agricultural crop material

摘要

A device for helically binding or wrapping a compacted rolled bale of windrowed agricultural crop material with twine, the crop material is rolled and compressed into a bale in a baling machine which includes a pair of spaced rolling members supported between a pair of spaced side walls of the baling machine. The rollers extend across the width of the machine and the gap between the spaced rollers forms the inlet through which the crop material is fed into the baling machine. A twine guide assembly, for guiding a strand of twine into and along the gap between the rollers, is mounted for movement in a straight linear path along and parallel to the gap formed between the rollers so that the twine can be uniformly fed to the bale.
