Abstract: Rectangular baler comprising a bale chamber adapted to contain one or more bales; a compacting plunger for advancing crop material in a discharge direction towards a discharge opening of the bale chamber; wherein at least one friction block is fixed on an inner side of a wall of the bale chamber; the or each friction block comprising a wedge shaped part having an inclined surface extending from the inner side of the wall in the discharge direction.

Abstract: Rectangular baler comprising a bale chamber adapted to contain one or more bales; a compacting plunger for advancing crop material in a direction towards a discharge opening of the bale chamber; wherein the rectangular baler further comprises at least one friction block mounted moveably in a wall of the bale chamber such that at least a part of each friction block is moveable out of the wall; and biasing element adapted for biasing the at least one friction block in a position wherein the at least one friction block protrudes out of the wall.

Abstract: An ejector system for a bale-forming chamber comprises a shuttle assembly having protrusions. This shuttle assembly is able to reciprocate to propel at least two bales towards a discharge outlet. The system furthermore comprises a tilting mechanism for tilting the shuttle assembly to retract a subset of the protrusions from an extended position projecting into the bale-forming chamber to a retracted position disposed outside the bale-forming chamber, thus, during movement of the shuttle assembly towards the discharge outlet, propelling only the bale present in the bale-forming chamber closest to the discharge outlet.

Abstract: A device for firmly holding the twines in an agricultural knotter as they are being knotted and cut. The length and geometry of the curved edge of the twine holding device are such that the clamping pressure on the twines in one notch is only released after the twines have been securely gripped within the next notch in succession.
