Abstract

Wrapping apparatus for use with a baling machine of the type having a forming chamber in which a round bale is formed and into which a wrapping material is fed to wrap the bale, includes a housing, a feeding device mounted on the housing for feeding a wrapping material from a source of wrapping material to the forming chamber, and a drive on the housing having a drive position for driving the feeding device, the drive being biased into a non-drive position so that the drive is disengaged from driving the feeding device. A cutter is provided for cutting the wrapping material after the wrapping material exits the feeding device, the cutter being movable between a first and a second position. A pivotal lever is operable between an initial position and a first operable position, the pivotal lever being movable from the initial position to the first operable position to actuate the drive from its non-drive to its drive position to thereby drive the feeding device to feed the wrapping material. The cutter is movable from the first position to the second position as the pivotal lever is moved from its initial position to the second operable position, and a cutter release is operable to release the cutter from the second position so that the cutter moves to the first position and in so moving cuts the wrapping material, the cutter release being adjustable to release the cutter after a pre-set number of revolutions of the round bale.
