A - Bale Length

1—4 - Bale Growth Indicators

During tying process, the actual bale length (A) on the display is set to 0.00 m (0 in).

If the bale weighing system is installed on the machine, then the bale drop is detected using the decline of the weight on the weighing platform.

When the bale drop sensor is installed and activated in the dealer menu (see Operate Baler Application section). The bale growth is displayed and indicates when a bale falls down from the bale chute behind the machine.

During field operation, the display shows four different positions of the bale on the bale chute as follows:

1. When the previous bale has been dropped off and a bale growth of about 0.25 m (10 in) has been detected, a short bale on the bale chute is shown.
2. After an extra bale growth of approximately 0.5 m (20 in), a bale halfway on the bale chute is shown.
3. When the bale is at the end of the bale chute, a spring plate activates the bale drop sensor and the shape of a full bale is shown on the bale chute.
4. When the bale is dropped off the bale chute, a bale behind the bale chute is shown on the screen.

After 0.25 m (10 in) bale growth, the bale growth indicator (1) is shown again.
