ABSTRACT:
Bale shape monitoring apparatus for use in combination with a round baler having an expandable bale forming chamber. The apparatus alternately illuminates first and second indicator lights in response to predetermined expansion of the bale forming chamber. The apparatus includes first and second electrical switches arranged in quadrature and connected to the first and second indicator lights by a microcomputer, and a plurality of cam lobes formed on the outer periphery of a ring for activating the switches. A method for monitoring bale shape in a round baler utilizes the first and second indicator lights and the first and second electrical switches. According to this method, the first indicator light is illuminated by opening the first and second switches and by closing the first and second switches. The second indicator light is illuminated by closing the first switch while the second switch remains open and by opening the first switch while the second switch remain closed.
