摘要： An apparatus and method for baling plant materials such as grasses, leaves and pine straw a hydraulic power unit, a conveyor operatively coupled to the hydraulic power unit, a hopper for depositing the material on a proximal end of the conveyor and a baler operatively coupled to the hydraulic power unit and arranged for receiving a material from the conveyor. The power unit, conveyor and baler are supported on a trailer. An electronic control system is operatively coupled to the hydraulic power unit, the conveyor and the baler for automatically suspending operation of the conveyor when the baler contains a sufficient amount of material for initiating bundling of the material and automatically resuming operation of the conveyor following dispensing of a bundle of the material from the baler.
