Film cutter

A film cutter for an agricultural bale wrapper that applies a stretch film (58) wrapping to the outer surface of an agricultural bale. The film cutter includes a support element (80), a collector element (70), a cushion element (90) and a knife element. The film cutter is reconfigurable between a collecting configuration in which wrapping film (58) dispensed by the bale wrapper is collected by the film cutter and a clamping configuration in which the wrapping film (58) is clamped between the collector element (70) and the cushion element (90) and is severed by the knife element. The support element (80) is configured to engage the wrapping film (58) when the film cutter is in the collecting configuration and to disengage the wrapping film when the film cutter is in the clamping configuration. The support element (80) is configured to move from the engaged condition to the disengaged condition without significant sliding contact between the support element (80) and the film (58) thereby preventing damage to the film that can cause it to tear.
