Abstract
Apparatus for wrapping cylindrical bales of crop material formed in a bale forming chamber of an agricultural baler with sheet material such as net or plastic film. The apparatus includes a dispensing mechanism which is movable from a retracted position to a dispensing position for inserting a tail of the sheet material into the bale forming chamber of the baler so that the sheet material is wrapped circumferentially around a cylindrical bale disposed therein. The dispensing mechanism is comprised of a pair of clamping members that grip the tail of the sheet material and between which the sheet material is dispensed during bale wrapping. The apparatus also includes a motor and a plurality of links for moving the dispensing mechanism between its retracted and dispensing positions.
