Operating the Baler in Short, Dry, Slick Crops

In Case of Plugging:

Try one or more of the following methods:

  • Raise pickup as high as practical.
  • Reduce engine speed to 1500 rpm and shift to higher gear to maintain forward speed.
  • Reduce bale density as necessary.
  • Make larger windrows (rake together as necessary).
  • Replace broken pickup teeth.
  • Whenever necessary, install the straw bar kit to improve the pickup to bale chamber feeding. (See "Installing Straw Bar" in this Section).
  • Install belt kit (except for MultiCrop baler). See "Attachments" section.

Baler with Precutter Device:

It may be necessary to reduce number of knives or to remove them.
