ABSTRACT:
A baler plug removing system for unplugging a conventional hay baler without the user having to risk bodily injury or leave the comfort of the tractor cab. The system includes a bar member having an engaging face that is extendable between a pair of feed rollers, a plurality of wheels rotatably attached to the bar, a pair of opposing tracks that are secured to the conventional baler that receive the plurality of wheels, a pair of front bearing for guiding the front of the bar, a pair of rear bearings for guiding the rear of the bar, and a pair of hydraulic cylinders connected to the bar for extending/retracting the bar along the tracks. A plurality of push hooks are preferably connected to a rear portion of the bottom surface of the bar for pulling in hay from the pickup into the feed rollers. A plurality of pull hooks are preferably attached to the bottom surface of the bar adjacent the engaging face for pulling tightly compacted hay from between the feed rollers. It can be appreciated that other well-known ways of extending/retracting the bar along the tracks, such as an actuator chain gear system, may be utilized instead of a pair of hydraulic cylinders. When hay becomes plugged between the feed rollers of the conventional baler, the user actuates the pair of hydraulic cylinders that extend the bar into the feed rollers thereby pushing and severing the plugged hay. When the user retracts the bar the pull hooks catch upon the plugged hay drawing it away from the feed rollers thereby unplugging the baler without the user having to leave the tractor cab.
