An agricultural baler includes a main bale chamber; a bale length sensor that is configured to determine a length of the bale as the bale is being formed in the main bale chamber and output a bale length signal representative of the bale length; a knotter that is configured to wrap and tie twine around the bale in the main bale chamber; and a controller that is configured to output a knotter cycle initiation signal to the knotter when the length of the bale, as determined in the controller by the bale length signal, reaches a pre-determined bale length threshold value, and wherein the knotter cycle initiation signal actuates the knotter to wrap and tie twine around the bale. A remote control device, which is remote from the baler, is configured to communicate with the controller to remotely adjust the pre-determined bale length threshold value.
