  • Patent number: 10051793
    Abstract: A strapping system for an agricultural implement includes a strap feeding assembly positioned on a first side of a baling chamber and a needle positioned on a second side of the baling chamber, opposite the first side. The system also includes a first slot disposed within a first material-facing surface of a rear wall of the baling chamber. The strap feeding assembly is configured to propel a strap through at least a portion of the first slot to the second side of the baling chamber, and the needle is configured to grip a portion of the strap and to move the portion of the strap from the second side of the baling chamber to the first side of the baling chamber to surround a material within the baling chamber with the strap.

  • Patent number: 9936645
    Abstract: An agricultural baler having a baling chamber is provided. The baling chamber includes a first wall and a second wall opposing the first wall. The first wall and the second wall extend longitudinally between a first end and a second end of the baling chamber, and the second wall forms a bottom surface of the baling chamber. The baler also includes a hinge disposed proximate to the first end of the baling chamber. The hinge is coupled to the second wall, and the second wall is configured to rotate about the hinge from a first position in which the second wall supports a bale within the baling chamber to a second position that enables the bale to move out of the baling chamber.
