A rectangular baler comprising:
- a bale chamber adapted to contain one or more bales;
- a compacting plunger for advancing crop material in a discharge direction towards a discharge opening of the bale chamber;
- at least one friction block mounted moveably in a wall of the bale chamber such that at least a part of the at least one friction block is moveable out of the wall;
- and
- at least one biasing element configured to bias said at least one friction block in a position wherein the at least one friction block protrudes out of the wall;
- the at least one biasing element further including a biasing shaft and at least one pawl element fixed on said biasing shaft, the at least one pawl element being coupled with said at least one friction block, such that a rotation of the biasing shaft adjusts the biasing of the at least one friction block.
