Abstract
A round baler for forming crop material into cylindrical bales, having a main frame, a plurality of conveying elements supported on main frame for defining a bale forming chamber, and a pickup for feeding crop material into said chamber. The conveying elements each have a crop engaging surface extending transversely of the main frame for forming a cylindrical package of crop material under conditions where the pickup is feeding crop material into the chamber. A dispensing assembly dispenses wrapping material from a storage container into the chamber for wrapping the outer surface of the cylindrical package of crop material to form a round bale. The storage container, mounted in an operative position on the main frame, is pivotable to an inoperative position away from the dispensing assembly for providing unobstructed access to the storage container and the dispensing assembly.
