Abstract
An agricultural crop baler () includes a baling chamber (), a crop pickup (), and an adjustable partition mechanism (). The crop pickup () is upstream from the baling chamber () to collect severed crop material and direct a flow of crop material toward the baling chamber. The partition mechanism is located between the crop pickup and the baling chamber to control the flow of crop material from the crop pickup to the baling chamber. The partition mechanism () includes a wall assembly () that at least partly defines a crop passage () extending along a crop-flow direction between the crop pickup () and the baling chamber (). The wall assembly () includes a shiftable wall () that is shiftable transversely to the crop-flow direction to adjustably vary the crop passage and thereby the flow of crop material to the baling chamber ().
