The invention refers to a baler-wrapper combination and to a method for forming and wrapping a bale (B) from loose material. A bale forming apparatus forms a bale (B) in a bale forming chamber and ejects the bale (B). The ejected bale (B) moves onto a bale carrier (2). A bale transfer actuator (12.l) moves the bale carrier (2) with the bale (B) into a bale depositing position. The bale (B) moves from the bale carrier (2) onto a bale supporting device (8) of a bale wrapping apparatus (62). A mechanical coupling device (16.l) couples the movement of the bale carrier (2) with a movement of a bale pusher (4, 5) from a remote position into an adjacent position, i.e. towards the bale supporting device (8).
