Adjust Tractor Hydraulic Outlets

Because the baler is equipped with a hydraulic pickup lift and a hydraulic gate, the tractor must have two double-acting selective control valves (SCVs).

Check times with no bale in chamber and hot oil. Use the same flow setting in the extend and retract directions.

Adjust the tractor hydraulic outlets to provide approximately a 5 second gate opening time.

When lowering the baler gate, avoid putting hydraulics into float position. The SCV lever must return to the neutral position.

See Hydraulics and Selective Control Valves in the tractor operator’s manual.
