An ejection chute for an agricultural baler comprises a channel having a base wall and first and second side walls extending upwards from either side of the base wall, in which a region of the base wall is provided with a first window shaped and sized to allow a formed bale to pass though the window, the base wall including an outwardly extending flange extending to one side of the ejection chute outward of the first sidewall, and a deposit mechanism for controlling movement of a formed bale through the first window, the deposit mechanism comprising a first selectively displaceable panel adapted to pivot about a longitudinal axis located to a first side of the first window at a distal end of the flange and a second selectively displaceable panel adapted to pivot about a longitudinal axis located at a second side of the first window such that the longitudinal axis of the second selectively displaceable panel extends along a base of the second wall.
An agricultural baler comprising:
- a baling mechanism including a first baling chamber and a second baling chamber for the sequential production of square bales, the second baling chamber producing square bales concurrently with the first baling chamber;
- a first ejection chute and a second ejection chute with each of the first and second ejection chutes comprising a channel having a base wall and first and second side walls extending upwards from either side of the base wall, in which a region of the base wall is provided with a first window, and a deposit mechanism for controlling movement of a formed bale through the first window.
