Adjust Tractor Wheels

Adjust tractor wheels toward the upper end of specifications to improve:

  • Bale shape by crowding ends of pickup.
  • Ability to pick up crop.

If the tread setting is too narrow, the operator cannot make properly shaped bales without driving on the windrow. Driving on the windrow can cause bales with soft ends and loose twine. (See Make a Bale with Bale Shape Indicators and Guidelines to Form a Good Bale in Operating Baler Application section.)
