Abstract: An arrangement is proposed that responds to the upward movement of a discharge gate, which forms a rear housing section of a baling chamber to the cylindrical bale in such a way that contact elements of the arrangement are pressed into the surface of the cylindrical bale, preferably by means of a servo motor, in order to reliably grasp the cylindrical bale and move it together with the gate until the bale is free of a fixed forward section of the baling chamber.

Abstract: A roll for use in defining a baling chamber of a large round baler includes a tubular central body having stub shafts projecting from opposite ends thereof and secured thereto at locations within opposite ends of the tubular body. In one embodiment, a flange is formed integrally with each stub shaft and is welded to a tubular cylindrical extension inserted into a respective end of the tubular central body and secured there either by a press fit and/or welding. In a second embodiment, a flange is integral with each tubular extension as well as with each stub shaft with the flanges of the stub shafts being respectively bolted to the flanges of the extensions.

Abstract: Conventional agricultural combines are equipped with straw walkers for separating grain entrapped in the threshed crop mat. A rotary separator having two transverse rotors arranged one behind the other is positioned above the straw walkers. The rotors can be driven in the same or in opposite directions and are provided with tines for penetrating the crop mat. The tines are rotatively mounted to an eccentric axle located in the rotor housing.
