Baling Difficulties
Prevent bodily injury or death. Never work on the machine
while it is running. Driveline can continue after disengaging the
PTO. Stay clear of the machine until it has come to a complete stop.
Shut off engine, remove key from ignition, set parking brake, and
engage the flywheel brake before repair or servicing.
Only restart the machine once the cause is identified and resolved.
|
Banana shaped bales. | Crop flow into machine is not even. |
Adjust windrow forming equipment (rake, merger, or mower) to layout windrows approximately 70% as wide as the pickup width.
Weave baler back and forth to feed light windrows equally across pickup. |
|
Uneven hydraulic pressure on the bale tension panels. |
Zero the tension system pressure.
Bleed tension system.
Resume baling at the desired tension system setting. |
|
Incomplete bale chamber fill (bales soft on top). | Precompression chamber setting is 1:1 and small swatch. |
Adjust precompression chamber setting. (See Adjust Precompression Chamber Density in Service section.) |
|
Damp crop. |
Adjust precompression chamber setting. (See Adjust Precompression Chamber Density in Service section.)
Install silage kit. |
|
|
Feeder fork timing is incorrect. |
Adjust feeder fork timing. (See Adjust Feeder Fork Timing in Service section.) |
|
|
Build up of trapped material in precompression chamber or bale chamber. |
Empty and clean out bale chamber and precompression chamber. |
|
|
Loss of the plunger scraper. |
Replace scraper and set clearance to specification. (See Adjust Plunger Scraper in Service section.) |
|
|
Precompression chamber density is too low. |
Increase measuring plate tension. (See Adjust Precompression Chamber Density in Service section.) |
|
|
PTO rpm is not correct. |
Run PTO at 1000 rpm only. |
|
Bale does not come out of the bale chamber with last bale eject system. | Hooks of the bale ejector are not adjusted correctly. |
Adjust hooks of the bale ejector. (See Adjust Bale Ejector in Service section.) |
|
Bale chamber pressure is > 0 kPa (0 bar) (0 psi). |
Zero the tension system pressure. |
|
|
Ejector teeth do not engage last bale. |
Bale ejector teeth must move using full strokes forward and backward to walk the final bale toward the roller chute.
Visually verify that cylinder is moving its full range of motion on each stroke. |
