A-Twine Spacing
B-Number of Left-Hand End Wraps

C-Number of Right-Hand End Wraps

D-Left-Hand and Right-Hand End Wrap Distance

E-Re-Extension and/or Cinch Wrap Distance

There are seven factors involved in properly placing twine on the bale. The factors are:

• Twine Spacing
• Number of Left-Hand End Wraps
• Number of Right-Hand End Wraps
• Left-Hand End Wrap Distance
• Right-Hand End Wrap Distance
• Re-Extension Wrap Distance
• Cinch Wrap

NOTE: The monitor-controller is programmed to apply approximate twine spacing in the center of the

bale. Twine spacing will decrease toward the ends of bale.

Twine Spacing (A) is the distance between twine wraps. Spacing is increased or decreased depending on how fast the twine arms move across the bale.

Mechanical twine arm spacing ranges are between 2, 4, 6, and 8 in. (5, 10, 15, and 20 cm).

Monitor-controller twine spacing range is between 2-10 in. (5-26 cm) at 0.5 in. (1 cm) increments. Initial setting is 4 in. (10 cm).

To obtain uniform twine spacing on a bale, the setting for twine arm spacing and the monitor-controller setting for twine spacing must be the same.

Number of Left-Hand End Wraps (B) and Right-Hand End Wraps (C) controls how long the twine arms pause at the end of the bale to apply the set number of end wraps for the bale diameter. End wrap setting ranges between 0.5-10 wraps. Initial setting is 2 wraps.

NOTE: The setting for the number of end wraps is approximate for each twine arm. With various settings of adjustable twine guide, the twine from both arms will be the same distance from the end of bale. The bale will have twice the number of end wraps as indicated on the monitor-controller. (See SETTING TWINE END WRAP DISTANCE in this section.)

Left-Hand or Right-Hand End Wrap Distance (D) limits the twine arm travel to the outer ends of the bale. An initial setting of 4 in. (10 cm) has been set for both sides. The settings can be changed in 0.5 in. (1 cm) increments.

• End wrap distance settings for left and right-hand sides range between 3-10 in. (8-26 cm).

NOTE: End wrap distances are an approximate indication where twine will be placed on the bale.

To place twine the same distance from the edge on both ends, a slightly different setting may be required for each end.

Check setting of mechanical twine guide when revising monitor-controller settings.

Re-Extension Wrap Distance (E) is a feature that may help prevent twine unrolling. It places a wrap of twine back toward middle of bale from left-hand end wrap location AFTER the set number of end wraps have been applied. Re-Extension wrap settings are 8, 16 and 24 in. (20, 40, and 60 cm). (See SETTING TWINE RE-EXTENSION (Advanced Operational Information) (CH 003) in Operating Baler with BaleTrak Pro System section.)

Cinch Wrap is a feature that may decrease loose twine and improve twine spacing on left-hand end of the bale. It places a wrap of twine approximately 10 in. (25 cm) away from left-hand end wrap location PRIOR to applying the set number of end wraps. (See SETTING CINCH WRAP (Advanced Operational Information) (Channel 004) in Operating Baler with BaleTrak Pro System section.)
