2.1. During the baling process of a round baler crop may be pulled out in the region of the sidewalls or brittle crop may fall through the gaps between adjacent belts and build up between two opposite belt runs. In order to avoid wrapping problems it has been proposed to use a staggered belt arrangement to allow accumulated crop to drop out. Such devices need a lot of space, which could be used for other components. 2.2. It is proposed to provide for a passage (22) between a crop accumulation area and a feeding device (20) transporting crop to the press chamber (24). 2.3. Round balers are used in agriculture. <;IMAGE>;
