Abstract: A baling chamber for an agricultural baler includes: a plurality of sidewalls defining a volume, one of the sidewalls having a roll opening formed therein; a plurality of belts disposed within the volume; a sledge assembly including at least one roll that is pivotable within the volume, the at least one roll having an exterior portion that extends out of the volume through the roll opening and a bearing disposed outside of the volume and associated with the exterior portion; and a drive assembly disposed outside of the volume, coupled to the exterior portion, and configured to rotate the at least one roll.

Abstract: A roll assembly, which may be included in an agricultural baler, includes: a first roll having a first roll surface with a plurality of first extensions extending therefrom, the first extensions defining a first rotation path when rotated; and a second roll having a second roll surface with a plurality of second extensions extending therefrom, the second extensions defining a second rotation path when rotated. The first roll and the second roll are disposed adjacent to one another such that the first rotation path and the second rotation path partially overlap. At least one roll driver is coupled to at least one of the first roll or the second roll and configured to rotate the first roll and the second roll in the rotation direction such that the first extensions and the second extensions do not collide with each other during rotation of the first roll and the second roll.

Abstract: A frame assembly of an agricultural round baler. The agricultural round baler includes at least one roller and a tail gate. The frame assembly includes a main frame and a pair of frame modules removably connected to the main frame. Each frame module of the pair of frame modules includes at least one roller mount configured for mounting the at least one roller and a tail gate mount configured for mounting the tail gate and defining a pivot axis of the tail gate. The pair of frame modules defines a baler size for producing a correspondingly sized round bale.
