Definitions

  • the invention relates to hay and silage baling and particularly to a baler mechanism suitable for increasing production and reducing costs while creating large round or stack bales.
  • a machine is driven over a raked windrow and pick rollers of the baler machine collect the cut material for compaction in the machine into a bale.
  • the width of the windrow material collected during each travel of the baler machine naturally depends on the overall width of the baler. It is often necessary for an extra raking operation to be undertaken to ensure as much crop as possible is collected. This naturally adds to production costs.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a bale mechanism capable of collecting hay and the like from a swathe wider than the width of the baler to form it into a bale.
  • a pick-up such as on a hay baler or forage chopper, the pick-up including at its forward end and extending out from the side thereof on at least one side of the pick-up a driven reel the plane of which is substantially at right angles to the direction of travel of the pick-up, so that when the reel is operating it rakes material toward the centre of the pick-up.
  • At least one driven reel is positioned on each side of the baler.
  • the reel(s) on each side of the baler can be driven by a hydraulic motor or the like.
  • an adaptor kit for a baler machine the kit incorporating at least two reels and associated drive motors and a set of mounting means, the arrangement being such that the mounting means can be fitted to either a forward end of a baler machine or a draw bar of a baler machine, each mounting means supporting at least one reel orientated to extend outward from the side of the baler at an angle of about 90° to the direction of travel of the baler machine.
  • a baler for hay or silage including at either it forward end or on a draw bar of the baler a mounting on both sides of the baler for a transversely extending bar, each transversely extending bar supporting more than one reel, the reels on each bar being driven from a single hydraulic motor via chain drive mechanisms or the like, the connection between the mounting and the transversely extending bar enables the extending bar to pivot horizontally to vary the angle between the transverse bar and the direction of travel of the baler and vertically from a generally upright inoperative position to a general horizontal operative position.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of a first example of baler according to the invention incorporating a pair of reels;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view from the from of the baler shown in Figure 2;
  • Figure 3 shows an example of drive for one of the reels shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • Figure 4 shows a perspective view from the front of an alternative construction of baler with the invention shown fitted on one side;
  • Figure 5 shows a schematic view from the front of the baler shown in Figure 4 with the one transverse bar shown in its raised position for transportation;
  • Figure 6 shows from the rear a transverse bar similar to that shown in Figure 4;
  • Figure 7 shows the mounting for a hydraulic motor adapted to drive the reels shown on the transverse arm as is shown in Figure 6;
  • Figure 8 shows a plan view of part of the transverse bar shown in Figure 6.
  • the first example of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 3 will now be described with reference to a baler for producing large round bales. It will of course be appreciated that the invention can be fitted to any baling machine, for example, a baler for producing stack or large square bales.
  • baler In the example shown in Figures 1 and 2 the baler is shown in outline only.
  • the baler (arrow 1) has a chassis 2 with wheels 3.
  • a draw bar 5 At a forwarded end 4 of the baler 1 is a draw bar 5 and a pick-up roller 6.
  • the greatest width of windrow swathe which can be collected is dependent on the width of the pick-up roller 6.
  • the baler 1 has fitted at its forward end 4 a rake reel or the like 7.
  • the reels 7 can be of similar construction to that of standard rake reels or can be built to a smaller diameter as is required.
  • the reels 7 are mounted on a transverse bar 8 which is mounted relative to the draw bar 5.
  • each of the reels 7 can be mounted on a floating arm (not shown) mounted on either side of the draw bar 5.
  • the floating arms can require a jockey wheel at the outer end of the floating arms.
  • the floating arms and the transverse bar can be mounted to be height adjusted by the use of a chain in a manner similar to that used to adjust the height of a reel on a rake.
  • Figure 3 is shown an example of drive for each reel.
  • the hub 8 of the reel 7 has a recess 9.
  • a hydraulic motor 10 provides the drive and an insert 11 is used to link the motor 10 to drive the reel 7.
  • the reel 7 can be clipped to the shaft and rotates with the hydraulic motor when it is driven.
  • the example shown has only a single reel on each side of the baler and it is to be appreciated that a pair or possibly more reels can be mounted on each side.
  • the drive for the reels can be separate or a hydraulic motor on each side can be adapted to drive both reels on its side of the baler.
  • the baler 1 has on its front wall 13 a draw bar mechanism generally indicated by arrow 5.
  • the drawbar mechanism 5 has fitted thereto a transverse member 14.
  • the transverse member 14 has slidably engaged therein sub-assemblies 15 which are adapted to be moved horizontally and can be located in any desired position relative to the member 14 as required.
  • the sub-assemblies 15 have . on their ends a box section upright 16 in which a sliding member 17 is engaged.
  • the sliding member 17 has mountings 18 between which a universal 19 is engaged.
  • the universal 19 is adapted to support an inner end of a transverse bar 20 shown in more detail in Figures 6 and 8.
  • the vertical height of the sliding member 17 relative to the upright 16 can be adjusted to locate an inner end of the transverse bar 20 at a set and desired height.
  • the transverse bar 20 supports a drive mechanism for rotating a plurality of reels 7 which are offset as shown in Figure 8 so that they feed towards the centre of the baler 1.
  • the transverse bar 20 supports mountings 21 and 22.
  • the mounting 21 has connected thereto a bar 23 the other end of which is connected via a universal joint to a bracket (not shown) mounted on the side of the baler.
  • the forward end of the bar 23 where it is connected to the mounting 21 also incorporates a universal joint 24. This enables the arm to be pivoted in the direction of the arrow 25 ( Figure 5) from a horizontal in use position to a vertical position where the baler takes up less space when being driven on a road.
  • transverse bar The vertical height of the outer end 26 of transverse bar is raised or lowered by a cable or chain 27 the upper end of which is connected to a winch mechanism 28 (not shown in detail).
  • the winch mechanism 28 enables transverse bars 20 normally positioned on either side of the baler to be raised.
  • the reels 7, 7', and 7'' are driven preferably by a hydraulic motor 29 which is adapted to be driven from the hydraulic power supply of the towing vehicle, or baler or forager implement.
  • the hydraulic motor 29 is mounted on a teardrop shaped plate 30 suspended from the plate 31 which forms part of the mounting for the universal 19.
  • the position of the teardrop can be adjusted by bolt 32 to adjust the tension in a drive chain or belt 33 which is adapted to drive gear 34.
  • the gear 34 on its shaft 35 rotates gear 36 and through a drive chain 37 is adapted to drive a gear 39 on mounting shaft 38 which drives reel 7.
  • the shaft 38 supports an additional gear alongside gear 35 which through an endless chain drives the gear 40 on the next shaft 38' .
  • the reels are therefore driven in series and the direction of rotation is in the direction of arrows 41 shown in Figure 6. This is so that the fingers on the reels 7 move any windrow material to the centre of the baler.
  • a baler capable of collecting hay and the like for a baler from a swathe wider that the width of the baler.
