An agricultural baler includes: a frame; a feeder system coupled with the frame and including: a floor; and a rotor and auger arrangement configured for moving between a first position and a second position, the rotor and auger arrangement being spaced farther apart from the floor in the second position relative to the first position.

Floating rotor and auger arrangement of agricultural baler

An agricultural baler comprising: a frame; wheels; a gearbox; baler drive components configured to process crop material into bales; and a declutch mechanism. The declutch mechanism includes: an input shaft and an output shaft that both extend along a drive axis that is perpendicular to the baler's travel direction, with the input shaft connected to the gearbox and the output shaft connected to the drive components; a drive coupling positioned along the drive axis between the opposite ends of the input shaft and output shaft end, and an activation coupling assembly. The drive coupling is reconfigurable, by the activation coupling assembly, between an engaged position in which the drive coupling connects the output shaft to rotate with the input shaft about the drive axis, and a disengaged position in which the drive coupling does not connect the output shaft to rotate with the input shaft about the drive axis.
