Abstract
A baler () has a stuffer chute assembly () with upper and lower curved walls () forming a stuffer chamber (). A rear portion () of the upper wall () extends downwardly and forwardly from a baling chamber () and a forward portion () extends above an inlet opening to the stuffer chamber (). The upper wall () has a plurality of laterally spaced-apart wrappers (), with adjacent wrappers forming slots () extending generally from said crop receiving inlet opening to an outlet opening () for cooperation with tines () of a feeding mechanism (). The wrappers () are movable relative to the lower wall () at a forward end () and at a rearward end () of the upper wall () so as to change a cross-sectional dimension of the stuffer chamber (). The baler () has a forward wall adjusting mechanism () for setting a forward end () of the upper wall () in a predetermined position, and a rear wall adjusting mechanism () for setting a rear end () of the upper wall ().
