Abstract: A baler implement includes a baling chamber. A wrap system wraps a wrap material around a bale within the baling chamber. A wrap sensor detects data related to a position of a tail end of the wrap material on the bale. A bale transfer device pushes the bale away during ejection from the baler implement. A baler controller determines a position of the tail end of the wrap material on the bale within the baling chamber, and initiates the ejection sequence to eject the bale onto a ground surface. The baler controller controls the bale transfer device based on the position of the tail end of the wrap material, such that the bale comes to rest with at least a minimum length of the wrap material extending between the tail end of the wrap material and a ground contact location disposed nearest the tail end of the wrap material.

Abstract: In a driver machine 10, a blank firing prevention mechanism 100 has a feeder position sensor 105 that detects the prohibition position of a feeder 64 of a magazine 60. When a control unit 20 detects the prohibition position of the feeder 64 on the basis of a detection signal from the feeder position sensor 105, the control unit 20 prohibits driving of a motor 52. Thus it is possible to prevent blank firing of a striking part 44. The feeder position sensor 105 is provided to an ejection part 34. Thus it is unnecessary for a wire, which connects the control unit 20 and the feeder position sensor 105, to be extended to the outside of a housing 14, in comparison with a structure in which the feeder position sensor 105 is provided in a magazine case 62 of the magazine 60.
