Abstract

A combine having an integral crop residue round baler includes an operator's cab, an engine, a grain harvesting assembly, a grain transfer assembly, a grain bin, and a grain off-loading assembly. The towed crop residue round baler is located at the rear of the combine and moves integrally therewith for forming a crop residue bale. The towed crop residue round baler can be connected to the combine by a pair of widely spaced apart joint assemblies that permit the towed crop residue round baler to move only in the pitch axis. A tractor assembly for baling crop material, is fitted with a quick hitch assembly for towing a towed crop residue round baler connected to the tractor by said quick hitch assembly configured such that only movement in the pitch axis is permitted and such that tractor carries a portion of weight of the towed rear unit.
