Operating Baler with Bale Push Bar (590 Only)

CAUTION: Bale push bar is activated when gate is opened. Be sure bystanders are clear and there is sufficient clearance behind baler when opening the gate.

CAUTION: To prevent injury or damage from a rolling bale, discharge bales on level ground or in such a manner that the bale will not roll.

NOTE: Tractor hydraulic flow must be at least 25 L/min (6.5 gpm) to operate bale push bar when making full diameter and full density bales. Set tractor hydraulic flow controls at maximum.

Be sure that both chains (A) are attached to the gate pins (B). See "Engaging Bale Push Bar" in this Section.

Form and wrap bale as usual.

Backing up baler is not required unless in rolling terrain conditions where runaway bales are likely. In these conditions, lockout the push bar and position baler so bale will not roll after being ejected.

Raise gate to eject bale. Hold tractor hydraulic lever until gate is fully raised. Do not stop gate while raising.

NOTE: A slight forward movement of the tractor may be felt as the bale is rolled back by the push bar.

Lower the gate. Keep hydraulic lever engaged until gate is firmly latched.

Proceed making the next bale.

NOTE: If a bale sticks in the bale chamber, the push bar may swing back before the bale has dropped to the ground. This will prevent the gate from closing. Raise gate fully and drive forward to clear the bale. Push bar will roll over bales up to 1829 mm (6 ft) in diameter.
