Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A round baler is provided having a frame, a baling chamber on the frame for forming a round bale, an unloading area provided between the baling chamber and a ground surface and at least one depositing element which is arranged in the unloading area and which extends parallel to the rotational axis of the round bale and serves for supporting the round bale during an unloading operation. To reduce mechanical stress on the round bale caused by the depositing element and as a result to prevent damage to the round bale, a flat section is provided which, compared to the rollers otherwise usually used as depositing element, provides a higher contact surface for the round bale such that the surface pressure during the impact of the round bale can be decisively reduced compared to the use of a roller.
