Check Wheel Nut Torque

NOTE: Wheel spindles and tires are factory installed in normal position on the 458 and 458S balers with MegaWide™ Plus pickup.

NOTE: Wheel spindle position controls baler height and feeding capacity.

NOTE: Normal position is used for most baling conditions. For other crop conditions, refer to WHEEL SPINDLE POSITIONS in Preparing the Baler section of the operator's manual.

IMPORTANT: 458 and 558; Install wheels with 11L-14 tires with valve stems toward the OUTSIDE.

Install wheels with 31 x 13.5-15 tires with valve stems toward the INSIDE.

Incorrect assembly can cause wheel nuts to loosen.

Whenever a wheel has been removed and installed, check torque after one hour of operation. Wheel nuts must be tightened to specifications.
