Abstract

A baling machine, towed by a tractor, for forming large cylindrical bales of hay has a baling chamber defined by oppositely moving runs of belts trained over rolls. In order to avoid stray hay wrapping around the ends of a roll and then being ingested in bearings supporting the ends of the roll, an anti-wrap assembly is provided at each end of the roll. The assemblies each comprise a spiral which is welded to the roll and which moves the stray crop away from the end of the roll, and a scraper mounted so as to have an edge thereof located very close to or in light contact with the spiral for preventing the crop from being carried around the roll by the spiral.
