Route twine correctly. (See Routing Twine in Prepare Baler for Twine section.)

Baling dry, slick crops, such as coastal Bermuda grass, straw, prairie grasses, or flax. Twine will lag behind the twine arm because of crop trying to come out of feed opening, then suddenly catching up with the twine arm, leaving a space without the twine.

Bale when crop has more moisture.

Reduce engine speed to 1500 rpm or lower and shift to a higher gear.

Use Dry Straw Twine Wrap program. (See procedure in Operating with BaleTrak™ Pro System section.)

Varying tractor engine speed.

Maintain consistent engine speed while wrapping all bales.

Bale density varies across width of bale or shape not cylindrical.

Reduce twine tension, if necessary, on thin plastic twine. (See Adjusting Twine Tension in Prepare Baler for Twine section.)

Twine from end of twine tube too short.

With tractor shut off, pull out twine until 305—381 mm (12—15 in) is exposed from end of twine arms.

Remove crop buildup at twine arm tension plates.

Reduce twine tension, if necessary, on thin plastic twine. (See Adjusting Twine Tension in Prepare Baler for Twine section.)

Use heavier twine.

Replace worn twine tension plates at the twine arm.

Replace broken or missing spring at the twine tension plate on the twine arm.

Twine tension too high.

Reduce the twine tension. (See Adjusting Twine Tension in Prepare Baler for Twine section.)

Replace worn twine guides.

Twine snagged on guide.

Check for correct twine routing.

Twine not fed in with crop.

Do not stop forward travel of tractor as soon as the monitor-controller Wrapping Started indicator comes on. Allow a few seconds for twine to be fed in with hay.

Twine box empty.

Add twine. (See Loading Twine Boxes in Prepare Baler for Twine section.)

Too many pickup teeth missing.

Replace pickup teeth.

Adjust twine guide. (See Setting Twine End Wrap Distance in Operating with BaleTrak™ Pro System section.)

Barrel or cone shaped bales.

Fill ends of bale by crowding windrow.

Twine guide too close to edge of bale.

Adjust twine guide. (See Setting Twine End Wrap Distance in Operating with BaleTrak™ Pro System section.)

Baling dry, slick crops such as straw or flax.

Use more twine. Increase twine distance from end of bale. (See Twine Wrap Terms And Settings in Operating with BaleTrak™ Pro System section.)

Twine arm travels too far at the right-hand side of baler, due to manually moving twine arms using monitor-controller EXTEND key.

If recycling twine arm, press monitor-controller WRAP key so setting for end twine spacing occurs.

Twine arm travel on the right-hand side is out of adjustment.

Adjust. (See Twine Wrap Terms And Settings in Operating with BaleTrak™ Pro System section.)

Look at twine to see that it has stopped moving before discharging bale.

Twine cutter out of adjustment.

Adjust twine cutter tension. (See procedure in Service—BaleTrak™ Pro System section.)

Remove obstruction.

Bent twine guide rod.

Straighten or replace.

Anvil is worn under knife.

Replace anvil.

Binding in twine knife pivot or cutter linkage.

Repair or replace so linkage operates freely.

Incorrect twine routing or bad ball of twine causing high twine tension.

Correct cause of high tension.

Twine is above the starter roll and misses the twine guide.

Reduce twine tension. (See Adjusting Twine Tension in Prepare Baler for Twine section.)

Slow gate raise time by adjusting SCV flow to 7—8 seconds, to reduce bale rolling distance. Maintain engine rpm during discharge.

Let bale turn 25 seconds after cutting.

Increase twine tension. (See Adjusting Twine Tension in Prepare Baler for Twine section.)

Reduce number of end wraps on the left-hand side.
