A wheeled frame, either self-propelled or towed by a farm tractor, provides a baling chamber which is open at the bottom. Elevating conveyor means at the rear of the chamber picks up material and pushes it forward as the machine advances along a swath. Separate traction conveyor means extends forwardly from the elevating conveyor means to assist in rolling the material and to compact it, and rises as the bale increases in size. When the bale reaches a predetermined size, the elevating conveyor means swings out of the way to release the bale from the chamber.,下面是Ground engaging rotary baler专利的具体信息内容。
