Abstract
A rotary baler for forming cylindrical bales is disclosed which automatically picks windrowed material from the ground and places it on a first conveyor belt which, together with a bale-starter roller mounted adjacent to the rear of the baler and a second conveyor belt above the first conveyor belt, form a cylindrical bale. The first belt is provided with slats to prevent the first belt from moving transversely to its direction of intended travel. At least one of the rollers about which the first conveyor belt is mounted is capable of translational movement toward and away from the front of the baler to permit downward deflection of the first conveyor belt by the bale.
