A crop harvesting system for continuous round baling is described that comprises a first (214, 322) and second bale chamber (216, 324) and a conveyor system (218, 332) in operable communication with the first and second bale chambers (214, 322； 216, 324). The crop harvesting system can comprise a first bale chamber (214, 322) comprising a variable shape, defined by a first serpentine system (228, 326, 502) comprising one or a plurality of endless belts (230, 388) in operable contact with one or a plurality of movable rollers to facilitate movement of the bale out of the first and into the second bale chamber (216, 324). The second bale chamber (216, 324) comprises a fixed shape defined by a plurality of stationary rolls (270, 384) operably attached to a second set belt or belts. The crop harvesting system can be integrated into an agricultural harvester such as a baler or combine.
