An agricultural baler including a bale chamber; a feeder duct communicating with the bale chamber; and a feeder operable within the feeder duct to accumulate a charge of crop material therein and then stuff that accumulated charge into the bale chamber. The baler further includes a conveying channel and a conveyor operable in the conveying channel to convey the crop material along a bottom wall of the conveying channel toward the feeder duct. The bottom wall of the conveying channel is adapted to be moved away from the conveyor; and the lower end part of the bottom wall of the feeder duct is attached to the movable bottom wall of the conveying channel.

Claim (Index 16):
An agricultural baler comprising:\n a bale chamber having an inlet opening formed therein; a feeder duct communicating with the bale chamber through the inlet opening for a charge of crop material to be transferred from the feeder duct into the bale chamber, the feeder duct having an upper end facing generally upwardly and communicating with the inlet opening in the bale chamber and a lower end facing generally in a forward direction; a plunger reciprocable within the bale chamber to compress the charge of crop material received from the feeder duct to form a bale; a feeder operable within the feeder duct to accumulate the charge of crop material therein and then stuff the charge of crop material into the bale chamber; a conveying channel communicating with the lower end of the feeder duct for the charge of crop material to be conveyed to the feeder duct; and a conveyor operable in the conveying channel to convey the charge of the crop material along a bottom wall of the conveying channel toward the feeder duct, wherein:\n the feeder duct has a top wall and a bottom wall extending between the lower end and the upper end of the feeder duct, the top wall providing an upper boundary of the feeder duct and the bottom wall providing a lower boundary of the feeder duct, \n at least one part of the bottom wall of the feeder duct is in the form of a door, \n the bottom wall of the conveying channel is configured to be moved away from the conveyor and has a movable edge adjacent a lower end part of the bottom wall of the feeder duct, and \n the at least one part of the bottom wall of the feeder duct that is in the form of a door includes the lower end part of the bottom wall of the feeder duct, wherein the lower end part of the bottom wall is attached to the movable edge of the bottom wall of the conveying channel.
