ABSTRACT:
A machine for rolling hay into cylindrical bales includes a mobile main frame with a rearwardly and upwardly swingable gate structure that raises to permit the discharge of a formed bale. An axially transverse finger type pickup is mounted on the lower end of the gate structure and raises the windrowed crop material as the machine advances to initially roll the crop material along the ground in advance of the pickup. A rear conveyor formed by a plurality of side by side belts trained around a roller on the axis of the pickup and another transverse roller above the pickup has an upwardly moving inner or forward run that engages the rear of the bale, the conveyor being swingable rearwardly to accommodate increasing bale size. A second belt type conveyor includes an axially transverse lower roller forwardly of the pickup and spaced above the ground so that the crop material passes beneath the forward conveyor. After a bale is rolled into a predetermined size by the pickup and the rear conveyor, it is engaged by the front conveyor, whereupon any increase in the bale size causes the bale to raise from the ground so that it is supported between the front and rear conveyors, whereby the bale is supported above the ground during the remainder of its formation.
