Claim:
A roll-baler, comprising in combination: a hopper ( 2 ) for receiving thereinto bale-shaping material; a bale-shaping chamber ( 4 ) to form the shaping material into a desired roll bale R; and a machine body ( 1 ), on which said hopper and said chamber are mounted, a space interval S being defined between said hopper and said chamber; a delivery mechanism ( 5 ) for delivering twine or net mounted above said space interval S; a transporting conveyor ( 3 ) for transporting the shaping material discharged out of a discharge port ( 20 ) into a receiving port ( 40 ) of said bale-shaping chamber ( 4 ) in a space extending from below the discharge port defined in the lower surface of said hopper ( 2 ) over to said receiving port ( 40 ) of said shaping chamber ( 4 ) by way of said space interval S, said transporting conveyor ( 3 ) is divided into a hopper-side transporting conveyor ( 3 a ) provided in a space extending from below the discharge port ( 20 ) to a position beneath said delivery mechanism ( 5 ); and a shaping-chamber-side transporting conveyor ( 3 b ) provided to extend from beneath the delivery mechanism ( 5 ) to the receiving port ( 40 ) of said shaping chamber ( 4 ) so as to forward the shaping material discharged from the terminal end of the conveyor ( 3 a ) by taking the shaping material from the conveyor ( 3 a ), wherein each of said hopper-side transporting conveyor ( 3 a ) and said shaping-chamber-side transporting conveyor ( 3 b ) is driven independently one from the other through a power transmission mechanism from a power source.
