Abstract: A binding device for a baler including at least one twine needle, a knotter shaft for driving the needle, a one-stop clutch for connecting the knotter shaft with the plunger drive and for intermittently driving the knotter shaft, and a transmission unit provided between the one-stop clutch and the knotter shaft and including elements which insure that for one complete revolution of the one-stop clutch, the knotter shaft also performs one complete revolution but with a higher speed than the one-stop clutch.

Abstract: A round baler, including a front housing, a rear housing pivotally connected with the front housing by an upper axle secured in the front housing and supporting the rear housing for a pivotal movement relative to the front housing, and a locking device for latching the rear housing to the front housing in a closed operational position of the rear housing and releasable upon a pressure acting on the rear housing reaching a predetermined value, and including an element for latchingly connecting the rear housing with the front housing in a partially open position of the rear housing.

Abstract: A method of producing high-density bales from harvest products in a bale press with a variable volume compression chamber which is circumferentially limited by belts, a chain conveyor rolls and which yields to a force imparted by preloaded means, with the method including controlling a pressing power applied to a harvest product by the belts, the chain conveyor and the rolls dependent on a driving torque of the bale press, and automatically increasing the pressing power during formation of a bale upon an interruption of product delivery or a relative reduction in the product delivery into the compression chamber of the bale press; and a bale press for effecting the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a round baler (1) for agricultural stalk material, which is arranged, in combination with a wrapper (3) for wrapping a round bale (42a) in film, on at least one running gear, a sloping plane in the form of a chute device (20) for the finished round bale (42a) being provided between the round baler (1) and the wrapper (3). To ensure that the round bale (42a) is transferred reliably and as quickly as possible to the wrapper (3) by simple means and without the expenditure of a large amount of force, it is proposed according to the invention that the chute device (20) be adjustable. Due to a steeper position of the chute device (20), the round bale (42a) rolls quickly out of the swivel zone (43) of the round baler (1), such that the rear housing (10) may be closed just as quickly as with round balers (1) operating alone.

Abstract: A binding device for a baler including at least one twine needle, a knotter shaft for driving the needle, a one-stop clutch for connecting the knotter shaft with the plunger drive and for intermittently driving the knotter shaft, and a transmission unit provided between the one-stop clutch and the knotter shaft and including elements which insure that for one complete revolution of the one-stop clutch, the knotter shaft also performs one complete revolution but with a higher speed than the one-stop clutch.

Abstract: A round baler for fibrous agricultural material including compression and delivery elements, a main drive for driving the same, a wrapping apparatus, and at least one load sensor provided in the drive line for the compression elements for generating a control signal for actuation of the wrapping apparatus and/or turning off of the delivery elements.

Abstract: A roll baler for agricultural harvest products having a stem and including an approximately cylindrical pressing space and a plurality of press rolls arranged along a circumference of the pressing space close to each other, with each press roll having a plurality of longitudinal ribs uniformly distributed along a periphery of the press roll at a predetermined circumferential distance from each other, and with the predetermined distance being so selected that no two roll ribs lie in two mutually perpendicular longitudinal central planes of the press roll.

Abstract: The invention relates to a feeder rake for the feeding of cut material into the baling chamber of agricultural pick-up and other balers, which is arranged to be driven by a steadily rotating crank and is guided by a swinging rod, which is connected by a link and by a guide arm with two spaced pivot bearings of the tine carrier of the feeder rake, and the guide arm has an overload protection device, upon whose actuation the feeder rake is folded back into a position in which it cannot continue feeding and, when it is freed of its load, it is erected again automatically moving out of the above-mentioned inoperative position into its operating position.
