Abstract: An agricultural baler includes a main bale chamber, a bale ejection system and a partial bale ejection system. The partial bale ejection system, incorporated in the floor of the main bale chamber, is arranged to move and eject a rearward bale proximate to the outlet of the main bale chamber. The partial bale ejection system having an actuator for moving the rearward bale and at least one tine that is pushed into the rearward bale prior to the actuator pushing the rearward bale alone toward and out the outlet.

Abstract: A rectangular baler including a bale chamber; a plunger; a guide system including a guide assembly for aligning and supporting the plunger in a transverse direction; each guide assembly including a mounting piece with a guide element, a threaded shaft; wherein the mounting piece has a mounting surface which is fixed against a guide surface of a member; the mounting piece and the member having an elongated slot and a through-hole, respectively, or a through-hole and an elongated slot, respectively; the threaded shaft extending through the through-hole and the elongated slot and having an axis making an angle with respect to the guide surface which is smaller than 90 degrees.

Abstract: An agricultural baler includes a main bale chamber having a pair of opposed side walls, with each said side wall including a plunger slot arrangement defining a plunger slot. A pair of plunger slot rails are positioned in each plunger slot, including a top rail positioned at a top of a respective plunger slot and a bottom rail positioned at a bottom of a respective plunger slot. A plunger is reciprocally disposed within the main bale chamber. The plunger includes a pair of opposed sides and at least one roller extending laterally outward from each side, with each roller being positioned within a respective plunger slot. The baler is characterized by a pair of plunger slot cover assemblies, with each cover assembly being associated with a respective plunger slot and having an upper cover and a lower cover.

Abstract: A square baler has an ejector system including a shuttle assembly mounted in a wall of the bale case for reciprocation parallel to the direction of movement of the bales in the bale case. A least one dog mounted on the shuttle assembly engages in the last bale in the bale case positioned nearest the discharge outlet and advances the bale incrementally in response to reciprocation of the shuttle assembly. A second shuttle assembly is mounted in a wall of the bale case for reciprocation independently of the first shuttle assembly. The second shuttle assembly has at least one dog to engage in the next-to-last bale in the bale case. By selecting which of the shuttle assemblies to activate, an operator may elect to eject only the last base in the bale case or the last two bales.

Abstract: A square baler having a bale case within which crop is compacted by means of a plunger and a discharge outlet at one end of the bale case is provided and an auxiliary ejector system for advancing bales towards the discharge outlet independently of the movement of the compacting plunger. The ejector system comprises a shuttle assembly mounted in a wall of the bale case for reciprocation parallel to the direction of movement of the bales in the bale case. A least one dog mounted on the shuttle assembly engages in the last bale in the bale case positioned nearest the discharge outlet and advances the bale incrementally out of the discharge outlet in response to reciprocation of the shuttle assembly. In the invention, a second shuttle assembly is mounted in a wall of the bale case for reciprocation independently of the first shuttle assembly. The second shuttle assembly has at least one dog to engage in the next-to-last bale in the bale case.
