Bale Density Gauge

E66771
E66771-UN-17JUL12

A - Green Band

B - Red Band

The gauge indicates the relative pressure within the hydraulic bale tension system while forming a bale.

Turning the bale density knob counterclockwise will cause the needle to move toward the minus sign and make lighter bales.

NOTE: The gauge will not register any change made to the density valve until more hay is fed into the baler.

The green band (A) represents normal baler operating pressure range.

If the needle reaches the red band (B):

  1. Make sure tractor selector valve returns to neutral while baling.

  2. Reduce bale density.

  3. Check for faulty gauge or relief valve.
