METHOD FOR UNLOADING BALES FROM A ROUND BALER ONTO A FIELD

Method for unloading a first (12) and a second (13) bale from a round baler (1) onto a field (11), the round baler comprising a bale chamber (5) and a bale holder (2), the method successively comprising the steps of: - growing (M7) the second bale in the bale chamber, while the first bale is carried by the bale holder; - unloading (M8) the first bale from the bale holder onto the field a period of time before finishing growing the second bale, the first bale defining a first position (P1) on the field; - finishing (M9) growing the second bale, transporting the second bale to the bale holder, and unloading the second bale onto the field, the second bale defining a second position (P2) on the field; the period of time is related to a distance (d3) between the first position (P1) and the second position (P2), which distance (d3) will be covered by the baler on the field for finishing the second bale, and wherein said period of time is determined such that the distance (d3) is smaller than a sum of the diameters (dl, d2) of the first bale and second bale.
