  • Publication number: 20250127095
    Abstract: A round baler having a baling system defining a baling chamber having an access into the baling chamber to receive crop therein and form the crop into a bale within the baling chamber. A wrap system operable to insert a wrap material into the baling chamber to wrap the bale. The wrap system includes a supply roll having wrapping material thereon, the supply roll rotatingly connected to the housing, and a support structure to support the supply roll of the wrap material relative to a pair of spool rollers. A sensor near the supply roll senses the supply roll of the wrap material and generates a sensor characteristic relative to a length portion of the wrap material remaining on the supply roll and a controller operably coupled to the sensor to receive the sensor characteristic. The controller determines when a partial net roll is loaded and remaining number of bales.

  • Patent number: 12063896
    Abstract: A baler implement includes a bale formation system operable to form crop material into a bale and eject the bale into an unloading zone. An object detection sensor is positioned to detect data related to the unloading zone. A baler controller is operable to determine if an object is present in the unloading zone or if an object is not present in the unloading zone based on a data signal from the object detection sensor. When an object is not present in the unloading zone, the controller may initiate the bale ejection sequence to eject the bale. When an object is present in the unloading zone, the controller may prevent initiation of the bale ejection sequence to prevent ejection of the bale onto the object.
