Abstract
An agricultural baler has a shaft, a flywheel connected to the shaft, and a disc brake system including a brake disc with a toothed rim for engaging with an auxiliary motor. The brake disc may be directly mounted on the flywheel. The baler may have a brake controller for controlling the disc brake system, and a motor controller for controlling the auxiliary motor, or an integrated baler controller for controlling both. The auxiliary motor may be arranged for rotating the flywheel forward or backwards.
