Adjusting Tractor Wheels

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

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

E21602
E21602-UN-12SEP88

Adjust front wheels to provide an inside tire-to-tire dimension of 1372—1524 mm (54—60 in).

E21603
E21603-UN-12SEP88

Adjust rear tractor wheels to provide an inside dimension according to specifications. Do not exceed outside dimension limitations to prevent machine damage.

Tire-to-Tire Dimension

4 Foot Wide Baler

1372-1524 mm (54—60 in)

Outside dimension not to exceed 2591 mm (102 in)

Do not make short turns or cause the baler to jackknife while backing, as damage occurs to PTO driveline, tractor tires, baler frame, and gathering wheels.

If the tread setting is too narrow, operator will not be able to make properly shaped bales without driving on the windrow. This results in bales with soft ends and loose twine. (See Weaving In The Windrow in Operating the Baler section.)
