Right-Hand Side Shown

A - Distance, 89 mm (3.5 in)

B - Distance, 114 mm (4.5 in)

C - Distance, 140 mm (5.5 in)

D - Distance, 165 mm (6.5 in)

E - Distance, 190 mm (7.5 in)

The twine guide controls the twine wrap distance from the left-hand end of the bale. The twine wrap distance can be adjusted between 89—190 mm (3.5—7.5 in) in 25 mm (1 in) increments.

For most baling conditions, set the twine guide to position (B). This setting positions the twine end wraps approximately 114 mm (4.5 in) from the end of the bale.

For dry, slick crops such as straw, coastal Bermuda grass, or flax, increase the twine wrap distance to prevent twine from falling off the bale.

For crops such as alfalfa, that fill the bale ends well and produce square shoulders, decrease the distance to improve bale appearance and reduce bale spoilage.

To adjust the guide:

  1. Loosen knob.

  2. Move knob as follows:

    • Toward the baler side sheet to increase the twine end wrap distance
    • Away from the baler side sheet to decrease the twine end wrap distance

  3. Tighten knob.


Set Left-Hand and Right-Hand End Wrap Distance on Monitor

  1. To ensure that twine placement is controlled by the mechanical twine guide, adjust the monitor setting for twine end wrap distance 1—3 cm (0.50—1.00 in) less than the mechanical twine guide setting. This adjustment increases the number of end wraps.

    Turn the tractor ignition key to the ON position. Do not start the tractor engine.
