just a tish NE of central ND | No baler expert here, my dad used to keep ours running using only the baler book and experience.Old Jd balers here till a few years ago when we parked the square machinery.One thing I always found while baleing was if the hay was tuffor getting tuffer , and you were really packing the bales tight, then you would throw more opens as the twine has to slip through the bale as it is being made.If you are really packing the bale and it is tuff, the twine must go through the hay in the chamber and pulls loose from the twine discs if the bales are too tight and you get an open bale as the one open end was no longer on the twine discs in the correct position when the needles came up(brought the twine up) to meet the other end to tie..It wont unthread the machine. Sometimes the test was to just loosen the tension and try it for a while to see if the tie-ing problems got better.The baler books(operators manual) seemed to be enough for us to figure out the tie-ing problems.
Good luck! |
Anybody have or know of a good square baler troubleshooting guide
