Abstract
An agricultural baler for making cylindrical bales of crop material having a sledge assembly moveable between bale starting and full bale positions. The sledge assembly includes a plurality of rollers which cooperate with an apron to define a bale forming chamber. A dispensing mechanism is carried on the sledge assembly for dispensing sheet material, such as net or the like, into the bale forming chamber whereupon it is wrapped circumferentially around a cylindrical bale of crop material in the bale forming chamber. A net spreading system is associated with the dispensing mechanism to assure that the net being fed into the bale chamber via the dispensing mechanism is maintained at its nominal width which corresponds generally to the width of the chamber.
