Adjusting Feeder Fingers

Feeder fingers (A) may be adjusted to increase or decrease their stroke, altering the distance moved into bale chamber.

1. To put less hay in left-hand side of bale chamber, put pivot pin (B) in upper holes of feeder fingers.

2. If more hay is needed on left-hand side, move pivot pin to lower holes.

3. Turn flywheel to run plungerhead through complete cycle. Check for interference with feeder fingers.

If pivot pin is in lowest holes and material is still not coming far enough into the bale chamber, the baler is being underfed. This happens when baling at too slow a speed or when windrows are too light.

A spring (C) helps protect the fingers from damage as a result of oversize charges of hay or from striking a solid object.
