Subject: Problems starting bales with round baler, Help please!


Just bought a Hesston model 5500 round baler in good condition. I know that older round balers have their fits, but it seems like if we have the least bit of moisture in our brome hay it has trouble starting a bale. We around 20 bales yesterday evening with no problems but when it got dark it didn't take very long before it decided the hay was too tough. I'm not much for knowlege of round balers as this is really my 1st one. What are the ideal conditions for a hesston 5500 baler in good brome hay? Also what are some helpful tips for starting out a bale? We had trouble making our 1st bale yesterday and then started in the windrow weaving. It worked. What do you guys think. Sorry if any of this sounds dumb. This is really my 1st experience with a round baler. Thanks.
