West Central Alberta Coldest, wettest edge | I use a 605H and G I believe the bale chamber was similiar on the J. When baling a very light and short crop behind JD rotaries, it was a nightmare, until I found that it works best when gravity was on my side. the H has a turnbuckle between the baler and the hitch to level the baler, when I used that and tipped the baler back as far as I could, then gravity helped feed the crumbs into the baler that would otherwise just keep circulating on the pickup. Then I could fly through it without issue. Pickup teeth in good shape are a must. I've also tried building a windguard that follows the profile of the pickup better than the straight guard on these balers, to keep the material feeding instead of rolling along in front, but never tried it in straw. Iknow the same concept worked perfectly on the silage cutter in short crop in a drought. |
