ABSTRACT:
The ground rolling machine for forming large round bales of a windrowed crop material has a rotatable material pickup device movably supported on a portable frame for movement relative to the rear end of the frame from a lower material pickup position to an elevated position wherein the formed bale can pass thereunder for discharge from the machine. A continuous flexible means movable in a generally upright path longitudinally of the machine is trained about the pickup device with a lower run extended between the pickup device and a bottom roller arranged forwardly of the pickup device at a position adjacent to the ground surface. As the portable frame is advanced along a windrow, the material gathered by the pickup device is rolled forwardly and engaged by the lower run of the belt means for compaction against the ground surface between the pickup device and the bottom roller. A transversely extended cradle unit pivoted on the machine forwardly of the bottom roller has a plurality of arcuately shaped transversely spaced bale supporting tines extended rearwardly and downwardly to positions beneath a bale being formed. The bale may be rolled in a supported position on the cradle unit, which on completion of the bale, may be elevated so that the bale is carried on the machine for transport purposes. The machine may be ground driven or operated from the power takeoff of a usual farm tractor.
