| I had JD out to work on my baler pickup because I had meetings to go to. I also had them replace the little v-belt that drives the net rolls. Well the mechanic didn't follow procedure to tighten v-belt. He set tension without activating the actuator. So it was way too tight. It would then shoot net up and over the knife instead of under it. I would show a fault code of not wrapping, cutting. Bale would be wrapped, but net was just tore. Deere couldn't figure it out, I finally look at neighbors baler and saw the problem, set v-belt tension, solved the problem.
I got a bill for $3,500 for replacing pickup cam and rollers on one side and putting this drive belt on and diagnostic work. Well, that didn't go over very good. I was then told JD flat rate for total rebuild on baler pickup was 5 hours. They spent 1 hour on pickup, rest was to diagnose net wrap problem after they changed the belt. Deere and I parted ways for a while after that. | |

Net wrap won't cut
