Tine plate for an agricultural baler

A rotor cutter apparatus for an agricultural baler, the rotor cutter apparatus comprising:

• a rotor shaft;
• and
• a plurality of tine plates arranged axially along the rotor shaft, each of the plurality of tine plates comprising:
• at least one first tine, which forms at least one baler rotor first tine configured for rotating about a horizontal axis;
• and
• at least one second tine spaced angularly from the at least one first tine, the at least one second tine forming at least one baler rotor second tine configured for rotating about the horizontal axis,
• wherein a length of the at least one first tine is greater than a length of the at least one second tine,
• wherein one of the at least one first tines of a first one of the tine plates is adjacent to one of the at least one second tines of at least one of the tine plates adjacent to the first one of the tine plates.
