  • Method for making a large square bale out of a plurality of small bales
    Patent number: 7080494
    Abstract: A method for making a large square bale out of a plurality of small bales, utilizing a square baler. Small bales are fed into a processing chamber resting in side by side relation on a pivoting floor. The floor is pivoted from a horizontal position to a vertical position, thereby repositioning the small bales as a stack. The stack is then elevated until it is aligned with a tubular forming channel. A plunger is used to push the stack into the tubular forming channel. Once the tubular forming chamber is substantially filled with stacks of small bales, the stacks are banded to form one large square bale.
