 Bonanza, Or | This problem is very familiar to me. I was having the very same problem with my 2170, I could run 285 load which is max load and only get the pressure to come up to 1500 lb and I would struggle to make a 1330 lb 3x4 bale in 14% moisture alfalfa. We had welded in wedges several years ago to help bale shape and we did not think that was our problem so we checked everything and I mean everything. We replaced the pressure relief, checked the increase-decrease cartridges, checked cylinders for bleed off, you name it we checked it. Like yours I could built big pressure on manual.
We ended up cutting the wedges out that had been put in several years ago and we put one set on the door just in back of the hinge point. This solved the problem and I now build pressure and get bale weight and nice bale shape.
We think my problem was that the front wedge was causing a false high load reading which would in turn make the pressure back off.
One other thing I would check is the stuffer timing. If it is off it will do strange things with the load.
I think that each one of the balers is a bit different. I also wondered if they have ever had to reload the software for the brain of the baler.
