Abstract

A combined baling and wrapping apparatus for use in picking up crop material lying on the ground, forming the material into a bale, and applying stretched film wrapping to enclose the bale, said apparatus comprising: a frame; a film reel carrier mounted on the frame to rotate around the bale, said carrier extending at least partly around the bale when seen in plan view; a guide mounted on the frame and defining an orbital path of movement for the carrier around the bale; and, at least one holder for a film dispenser reel mounted on said carrier and rotatable around the bale during rotation of the carrier so that, when a bale has been formed in the chamber and the housing has been moved to the inoperative position, a dispenser reel, when mounted on the carrier, can apply stretch film wrapping to the bale simultaneously with rotation of the bale by the lower bale-forming means.
