Selecting Tying Program

The BaleTrak monitor includes five automatic tying programs depending on crop conditions:

  • Program 1 is for unchopped silage.
  • Program 2 is for straw.
  • Program 3 is for hay.
  • Program 4 is for chopped silage.
  • Program 5 called "Eco" allows to reduce tying cost.

Press "PROGRAM" key (A). The number of the last program selected (B) is displayed for five seconds.

While the program number is displayed, press "PLUS" or "MINUS" key to select the desired program from 1 to 5.

The last program displayed is stored after five seconds.

Each program can be customized depending on the crop condition. See "Setting Twine Tying" in this section.

Modifications made in program 5 are permanently saved in the monitor memory.

Switching the monitor on and off will not affect customized setting in the selected program.

When switching from program "X" to another program, the customized setting in program "X" is lost and the program "X" will return to factory parameters.

To reset all programs to factory parameters, see "Channel 001: Reset to Factory Default Settings" in "BaleTrak Monitor Service" section.
