Abstract:
1. A square baler comprising a baling chamber and a plunger reciprocably mounted in the baling chamber, an intake duct within which slices of crop material are accumulated for transfer into the baling chamber, a stuffer having tines that may selectively execute a packer stroke to advance crop material partially along the intake duct and a stuffer stroke to transfer the crop material accumulated in the intake duct into the baling chamber, wherein the stuffer comprises a stuffer arm connected at a first pivot point to a crank arm that is driven to rotate at a multiple of the cycling rate of the plunger, and the stuffer arm is acted upon at a second pivot point by a cam track and follower arrangement selectively driveable with the crank arm by a disengageable clutch.
