Abstract: A baler is supported by wheels on the ground and is either self-propelled or hitched to and driven by a tractor. The baler has pickup and conveying devices for collecting and transporting the harvested goods to a pressing channel where bales are formed. The bales are tied by tying material supplied from a storage container arranged on the baler and moveable from an operating position into a servicing position allowing access to machine components of the baler covered by the storage container in the operating position. The storage container is moveable into a loading position for inserting or removing rolls of the tying material. The loading position and the servicing position are identical. In the loading and servicing position the storage container has, in comparison to the operating position, a greater spacing relative to a longitudinal center plane of the baler and a reduced spacing relative to the ground.

Abstract: A baling press for producing large square high-density bales has a pick-up device picking up crop, a cutting device downstream of the pick-up device, a conveying device downstream of the cutting device, and a pressing channel disposed downstream of the conveying device and receiving the crop from the conveying device. The crop is shaped to high-density bales in the pressing channel. A tying device is provided that, for ensuring a permanent cohesion of the bales and completing the bales, ties tying medium strands, connected in endless loops, in longitudinal direction of the bales about the bales. A spacing of outermost tying medium strands, disposed next to outer parallel longitudinal bale edges, relative to the outer parallel longitudinal bale edges, respectively, is at least as large as or greater than an average spacing between neighboring tying medium strands in a transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal bale edges.

Abstract: A device for mowing plants has a frame, deflection rollers connected to the frame, and a circulating endless cutting belt provided with cutting teeth and guided about the cutting belt.

Holding-down elements are connected to the lower guide rail, wherein the guide brackets have a stop edge and wherein the holding-down elements prevent the cutting belt from lifting off the lower guide rail.

Abstract: A machine for collecting and pressing a crop to roll-shaped bales has a crop collecting device and a bale-forming device defining a winding chamber arranged downstream of the crop collecting device. At least a first and a second stationary deflection devices are provided, wherein the bale-forming device is guided about the first and second stationary deflection devices. Stationary guides are positioned between the first and second stationary deflection guides. The bale-forming device, during a first bale-forming phase, travels along a spatially determined movement path and is supported on the stationary guides. The bale-forming device is lifted off the stationary guides during a second bale-forming phase. For compressing a bale to be formed after reaching a preset bale diameter, the bale-forming device exerts on the bale to be formed in a compression phase a compression force in a direction from the exterior to the interior of the bale.

Abstract: A machine for collecting and pressing a crop to roll-shaped bales has a crop collecting device and a bale-forming device with a winding chamber arranged downstream of the crop collecting device. The bale-forming device is guided about first and second stationary deflection devices. Guides are positioned between the first and second stationary deflection guides. During a first bale-forming phase, the bale-forming device travels along a spatially determined movement path on the guides. During a subsequent bale-forming phase, the bale-forming device is transferred to additional movement paths that are independent of the guides and are determined by the diameter of the bale. The maximum bale diameter is selectable by moveable control devices. After the bale reaches the selected maximum diameter, the bale-forming device initiates a compression phase and exerts a compression force on the bale from the exterior to the interior of the bale.

Abstract: In a method and a device for compressing square large bales for stalk material on large baling presses by using twines that engage across longitudinal sides and end faces of bales and are tied together, wherein compressed large bales can be formed by a number of adjacently positioned, individually compressed and tied small bales, a first tying unit and a second tying unit at a pressing channel of a large baling press are provided, wherein the first and second tying units have knotters. The first tying unit for tying individual small bales can be activated. Alternatively, the first and second tying units can be activated individually together for simultaneously tying several small bales to form a large bale, wherein the first and second tying units interact with the same knotters.

Abstract: A device for determining and controlling a bale length on a pick-up baler for agricultural harvested material has a pick-up device, a feed channel connected to the pick-up device, and a pressing channel with pressing piston connected to the feed channel. A conveying device conveys the harvested material through the feed channel into the pressing channel. The pressing piston compacts the harvested material. A sensor detects a bale growth resulting upon compression of the harvested material during the feed stroke from the feed channel into the pressing channel. An electronic evaluation device is connected to the sensor that supplies a bale growth value to the electronic evaluation device where it is converted into an averaged operand or a statistical operand for determining a required number of feed strokes for reaching the nominal bale length. After the computed number of feed strokes is reached, the binding device is triggered for tying the finished bale.

In the transport position legally permissible dimensions for traveling on roads are observed. A longitudinal extension of the swivel parts transverse to the traveling and working direction matches at least approximately a maximum legally permissible transport width.
