Unplug Baler Pickup

1. Back up the baler to clear the windrow.

2. Prevent damage to the pickup drive. Do not operate a raised pickup for a prolonged time to clear the baler.

   Unplug the pickup using the procedure listed for the pickup type on your baler:

   • Regular Pickup:
     Run the tractor engine rpm at 1500—2100 rpm and engage the PTO to pull the plug through.
   • MegaWide™ Plus Pickup:
     Lower the tractor engine rpm and turn the PTO on and off, slowly compressing and feeding the crop through.
   • MegaWide™ HC2 Feed System:
     Lower the tractor engine rpm and turn the PTO on and off, slowly compressing and feeding the crop through. If the crop does not feed through, lower the drop floor and turn the PTO on and off to work the plug through. It is not recommended to disengage the knives since the knives automatically retract when the floor is fully lowered.
     
   
   

3. Raise and lower the pickup a couple times by moving the tractor selector valve.

4. If the baler does not clear, shut off the PTO and the tractor.

5. If the baler clears, return the pickup to operating height and continue baling.
