Abstract
A large round baler includes bale-forming means conducted over rotary bodies with stationary axes and rotary bodies with movable axes so as to define an expansible circumference of a baling chamber. Some of the movable rotary bodies are mounted to a carrier mounted to fixed side walls defining opposite sides of the baling chamber. The carrier is pivotally mounted to opposite side walls defining opposite sides of the baling chamber for movement between a lowered operating position and a raised discharge position wherein it holds a span of the bale-forming means, which during operation, forms the rear portion of the circumference of the baling-chamber above the formed bale so that the latter may be discharged.
