摘要：
In a tractor/baler combination, a method of controlling the combination includes the steps of:
(i) advancing a tractor/baler combination through a swath or windrow of biological matter with the tractor PTO operating at a generally constant speed to power the baler and the baler operating to take up biological matter;
(ii)during step (i) assessing the flowrate of biological matter in the baler;
(iii) comparing the assessed flowrate with an optimal flowrate; and
(iv) if the assessed flowrate differs from the optimal flowrate 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.
There is also disclosed an apparatus (10) for carrying out the method of the invention. The method and apparatus of the invention advantageously increase the workrate of baling operations.
