Abstract: A pickup unit for an agricultural baler. The pickup unit includes a frame; a pickup roll carried by the frame; and a windrow conditioning roll carried by the frame and positioned in front of the pickup roll when in an operating position. The windrow conditioning roll includes a center core and a pair of counter-rotating flightings surrounding the center core. The counter-rotating flightings are connected together in a manner such that wrapping of crop material around the windrow conditioning roll is inhibited.

Abstract: The assembly comprises a beam, a support wheel rotatably mounted on an axle carried by the beam with a stub shaft. A hole in the frame of the baler which receives the stub shaft includes at least one radial recess dimensioned to permit the radially projecting arm to pass through the hole when aligned with the recess, the arm preventing the stub shaft from moving axially relative to the frame when misaligned with the recess.

Abstract: Stationary plates are mounted in the spaces between the segments of a roll. At least one of the plates comprises a cam-like extension, protruding from the roll surface for preventing wrapping material from wrapping around the roll.

Abstract: A machine is provided for wrapping film around a bale of agricultural product. The wrapping machine comprises of a table for receiving the bale and rotating the same about a horizontal axis. The design includes a dispenser unit for holding a roll of film and dispensing to the bale. There is a mechanism for rotating the dispenser unit relative to the bale about a second axis. An arm assembly is movable between a first position and a second position in which the arm assembly is capable of holding an end of the film. The arm assembly comprises a roller extending lengthwise. The stationary guide member prevents that film, which is screwed outwardly along the roller during the downward movement of the arm assembly, reaches the end of the same and hooks therebehind, such that the film is not torn before the next wrapping cycle is started.
