  • Square baler and a related control method
    Patent number: 8539878
    Abstract: A square baler comprising a controller for controlling the operation of the baler in dependence on the first, second and third signals representing the mass of a bale, the force of the piston of the baler, the energization of the actuator respectively and an input target value for the mass of the bale wherein the first signal is fed back in a first control loop and compared with the target weight to generate a target force, the second signal is fed in a second control loop and compared with the target force to generate a target energization, the third signal is fed in a third control loop and compared with the target energization to control the energization of the actuator.

  • Agricultural round baler
    Publication number: 20070277483
    Abstract: A round baler comprises a mechanism for encircling a bale after it has been formed with a wrapping material drawn from a web on a supply roll. In the invention, means are provided for adjusting the width of the web of wrapping material as it is offered to a formed bale, so as to selectively enable and disable the wrapping of the edges of the bale.
