IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO AGRICULTURAL BALING MACHINES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an agricultural system (10), comprising an agricultural baler comprising a pick-up arrangement (19) for collecting plant matter, the pick-up arrangement comprising at least one roller (302, 304) for feeding crop into the baler. The baler comprises a pick-up drive shaft (310) for moving the roller (302, 304) at a desired rotational speed, wherein the pick-up drive shaft (310) is connected to the roller (302, 304) via at least one clutch (324, 340) for selectively transferring power between the pick-up drive shaft (310) and the roller (302, 304). The system further comprises a control unit (344) configured to: receive clutch-status-data indicative of an engagement status of the at least one clutch (324, 340); determine a speed-control-signal for varying the rotational speed of the pick-up drive shaft (310) on the basis of the clutch-status-data; and provide the speed-control-signal to a driveline for driving the pick-up drive shaft (310).
