Bale Density Gauge

The gauge indicates the relative pressure within the hydraulic bale tensioning system while forming a bale.

Turning the bale density knob counterclockwise will cause the needle to move towards the minus sign and make lighter bales.

Turning the bale density knob clockwise will cause the needle to move towards the plus sign and make heavier bales.

NOTE: The gauge will not register a higher setting until more hay is fed into the baler.

The green band (A) represents normal baler operating pressure range.

If the needle reaches the red band (B):

Reduce bale density.

Check for faulty gauge or relief valve.

Make sure tractor selective control valve returns to neutral while baling.
