Adjust Feeder Fingers (459 with Double Feeder Fork)¹

CC006704-UN-28FEB95

A - Front Feeder Fingers

B - Rear Feeder Fingers

C - Spring

D - Rear Pivot Pin

E - Front Pivot Pin

Feeder fingers (A) and (B) may be adjusted to increase or decrease their stroke, which alters the distance they move into the bale case.

NOTE: A spring (C) helps to protect the teeth from damage as a result of overloading or striking a solid object.

Four positions of front and rear feeder fingers (A) and (B) are usable.

To place more hay in the right-hand side of the bale case, place pivot pin (D) in position 1 of rear feeder fingers (B).

NOTE: Position 1 of front feeder fingers (A) and position 2 of rear feeder fingers (B) are the factory installed positions.

If more hay is needed on the left-hand side, move pivot pin (D) to position 3 or 4 of rear feeder fingers (B) and move pivot pin (E) to position 2, 3 or 4 of front feeder fingers (A).

NOTE: If pivot pins (D) and (E) are both in position 4 and material is still not coming far enough into the bale case, the baler is underfed. This happens when baling at too low ground speed or when windrows are too light.
