ABSTRACT:
A roll forming machine picks up crop material and forms, twine wraps and discharges rolls or large round bales thereof as the machine is continuously moving across the field. The machine has a mobile frame supporting a pickup and a floor, the latter supporting a lower conveyor. A front upper apron is supported on the frame above a front portion of the lower conveyor and floor and defines a front roll forming region therewith. A rear upper apron is supported on the frame above a rear portion of the lower conveyor and floor and defines a rear roll forming region therewith. A twine wrapping mechanism is supported by the frame above the lower conveyor and between the front and rear upper aprons and is operable for twine wrapping a roll formed at the rear region of the machine. Wrapping of a roll being formed in the rear region is initiated in response to the roll reaching a predetermined size. Formation of another roll is initiated in the front region in response to the initiation of wrapping the roll located in the rear region. The latter roll is discharged from the rear region in response to the termination of the wrapping of the roll. After discharge of the wrapped roll, the partially-formed roll located in front region is transferred to the rear region.
