Baling Apparatus
13 Apr 23
A method of controlling a tractor/baler combination is disclosed including the steps of: (i) advancing a tractor/baler combination through a swath or windrow of a harvested crop material with a tractor PTO operating at a generally constant speed to power a drive of a baling chamber of the baler and the baler operating to pick up harvested crop material; (ii) during step (i) assessing the flowrate of the harvested crop material in the baler and the torque of the baling chamber drive (iii) comparing the assessed flowrate with an optimal flowrate and the torque of the baler chamber drive with an optimal baler chamber drive; and (iv) if the assessed flowrate differs from the optimal flowrate by more than a predetermined amount or the assessed torque of the baler chamber drive differs from the optimal torque by more than a predetermined amount, changing the speed of advancement of the tractor/baler combination, and hence changing the flowrate of biological matter in the baler and the torque of the baler chamber drive.
