Crop Residue Baler Integrated with Harvester, Method for Baling Crop Residue, and Resulting Trapezoidal Crop Residue Bale

摘要

A combine has a transverse crop residue baler disposed at the rear of the combine that moves integrally with the combine. The transverse crop residue baler can be towed by the combine and connected to the combine by two widely spaced-apart joints that permit only movement in the pitch axis. The transverse crop residue baler also can be disposed at the rear of and carried by the forward unit of an articulated combine.
