ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for monitoring bale density in a round baler. A pair of hydraulic cylinders are operable to move a movable portion of the baler between its open and closed position. The bale density monitoring apparatus of the invention monitors pressure on the cylinders during bale formation. Upon sensing a differential in pressure between the cylinders, a signal is provided to the operator so that the tractor can be moved relative to the window to equalize pressure within the bale-forming chamber.
