A hay baler with a bale chamber, a feed opening in one side wall of the chamber, a plunger in the bale chamber for compacting hay, a hay receiving platform extending laterally to one side of the bale chamber, a track mounted above the platform, a feeder carriage mounted on the track for movement along the track to convey hay from the platform and through the opening in one side wall of the chamber, and a drive transmission mechanism to reciprocate the feeder carriage. The drive transmission mechanism includes a resiliently extensible link pivotally connected at one end to the plunger, a floating link pivotally connected to the other end of the drive link, a connecting link pivotally interconnecting the floating link and the feeder carriage, and first and second swinging arms each pivotally connected at one end to the floating link at spaced apart positions along the length thereof and pivotally mounted on spaced apart pivot members on the bale chamber. |
