  • Patent number: 10257985
    Abstract: A rectangular baler including a chassis; a compacting plunger supported on the chassis for advancing crop material; and a bale chamber between the compacting plunger and the back end. The chassis is provided with a first and second sidewall extending from the front end in the direction of the back end. There is further provided a pull rod connecting the first sidewall and the second sidewall, at a location between the plunger and the front end. The pull rod has a first part and a second end part extending freely through a first hole in the first sidewall and a second hole in the second sidewall, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9313954
    Abstract: An agricultural square baler comprising a baling chamber, for compressing crop by a plunger, and a plunger drive connected to the plunger provided to drive the plunger. At least one connecting rod longitudinally delimited by a first and a second end is provided to transfer the rotational movement of the plunger drive into the linear reciprocal movement of the plunger. Each of the ends of the connecting rod having a first surface. An attachment connects a constraining element with the connecting rod at an attachment location away from the first surface of the connecting rod.
