Claim 0:
1. A method of controlling a wrapping assembly of an agricultural baler, the wrapping assembly comprising a material roll holding a roll of wrapping material, a duckbill assembly comprising a movable duckbill carrying at least one duckbill roll and configured to draw wrapping material from the roll of wrapping material, a duckbill actuator coupled to the duckbill, and a variable brake coupled to the material roll, the method comprising:
determining an averaged electric current draw of the duckbill actuator during a sampling period is below a defined value;
increasing an applied braking force to the material roll by a defined amount with the brake when the averaged electric current draw is below the defined value;
determining a second averaged electric current draw of the duckbill actuator during a second sampling period is below the defined value; and
increasing the applied braking force to the material roll by a second defined amount with the brake when the second averaged electric current draw is below the defined value.
