A baler is modified to include a device for lifting rolls of bale wrapping material into the baler where the lifting device includes a winch having a frame and a guide arranged to be mounted on the housing of the baler at a rear wall thereof above a cover member over the roll compartment. A cable extends from the pulley through an opening in the cover such that, with the cover member opened, the cable passes through the opening in the cover member to pass through the compartment to the ground below the compartment. An element such as a hook or a grapple is carried on the cable for lifting a roll of the wrapping material by the winch into the compartment.
