ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for rolling a swath of fodder into a bale in contact with the ground includes a frame, a driven pickup shaft with several transversely spaced sets of fodder pickup tines the tips of which sweep the ground to roll fodder in the swath forwardly to form a spiral bale, bale compacting means in the form of endless bands with raddles therebetween which has a lower working run the rear of which is immediately above the tine tips and the front of which is near the front of the frame, a pair of disks which are journalled on the sides of the frame on a common axis and which support the ends of the raddles so the working run arches upwardly between the rear and the front, spring means tensioning the bands so that when a forming bale is larger than the disks the raddles heavily compress the fodder in the periphery of the bale, and a transverse, driven beater roll immediately forward of the disks which tend to beat fodder loosened by the raddles back into the forming bale.
