Abstract
An agricultural baler comprises a bale case having an inlet opening for charges of crop material to be transferred thereto from a feeder duct, a plunger reciprocable within the bale case to compress successive charges of crop material from the feeder duct to form a bale, and a feeder mechanism mounted within the duct to accumulate a charge of crop material therein and then stuff that charge into the bale case. The feeder mechanism comprises a first rotatable tine bar having mounted thereon a first set of packer tines and a set of stuffer tines angularly offset from the first set of packer tines, and a second rotatable tine bar on which is mounted at least a second set of packer tines.
