ABSTRACT:
A baler of the type for forming cylindrical bales is improved by the use of a combine type pickup which more effectively lifts the crop from the ground for insertion into the main baler housing. Between a feeder housing of the combine type pickup and the main baler housing is provided a transportation section under which is provided a belt to ensure that any material falling from the transportation section is caught by the belt and carried rearwardly for collection in an auger and fan assembly. The auger and fan assembly provides a low pressure within the baler housing which is substantially fully enclosed so that all material is kept within the baler and prevented from escaping. The collected material in the fan is carried through a duct to a discharge cyclone dropping the material back into the transportation section for carrying into the baler housing for baling. The frame of the baler is mounted upon steerable wheels which allow the pickup to be arranged at an angle to the swath and allow the pickup to be steered across the swath to ensure that it properly follows the swath while the tractor continues in a straight line.
