ABSTRACT:
A direct drive system for a baler of large round bales. A plurality of driven gearboxes, each of which has a planetary gear system and an interconnected bevel gear system, are located on each of a pair of sidewalls of the baler and are each drivably connected to one of a plurality of transverse driven shafts of the baler. A distribution gearbox on each side of the baler are connected through a right angle gearbox to the power take-off of a tractor. Power from the distribution gearboxes is distributed to the plurality of driven gearboxes through a plurality of driven gearboxes through a plurality of lateral drive shafts. The direct drive system of the present invention replaces substantially all of the roller chain and sprocket drive system of known balers.
