Abstract
In a round baler having a microprocessor based controller for controlling the pattern in which twine is wrapped around a bale, factory installed programs, selectable by an operator through actuation of control keys, provide a plurality of twine wrap patterns each of which includes two wraps at each end of the bale. An operator's panel is provided with keys which, when actuated, modify the number of end wraps. The factory installed programs are not otherwise modified. When a factory installed program is selected, the number of end wraps placed on each end of the bale is determined by the modified number of end wraps.
