Claim 10:
11. A method for transmitting power in a baling machine including a rotary drive-transferring driveline, comprising the steps of:
providing a transmission, a rotary input shaft, and a flywheel shaft, the transmission including at least one clutch and being interposed between the input shaft and the flywheel shaft, the flywheel shaft supporting a flywheel and connecting directly or indirectly to a plunger of the baling machine;
transferring drive power by way of the transmission from the input shaft to the flywheel shaft, the input shaft inputting a rotary drive to the transmission, the flywheel shaft being rotatably driven as an output of the transmission; and
selectively drivingly connecting the input shaft and the flywheel shaft one to the other inside the transmission by way of the at least one clutch,
wherein the input shaft rigidly connects to an input gear shaft, and
wherein the input gear shaft is locked to an input side of the at least one clutch arranged inside the transmission, so that the input side also rotates with the input gear shaft.
