Princeton, Indiana | First off, this is only our second year owning a baler. I didn’t grow up doing this so I’m still learning how to operate it. Tried to start baling a few days ago and every time we started it would break the shear bolt on the PTO. Also noticed we were bending bars so I kept changing bars and shear bolts. After fighting it for a day we got out the book and started adjusting on it. We tightened the apron chain tension. Tried baling again and it actually baled like it should. Made about 4 or 5 good bales then it began breaking shear bolts again. But I noticed it was ‘puking’ hay up front. The hay builds up in front of the chain to the point I can’t see the bale in the chamber. And once it starts puking hay it will only make a bale about 2 or 3ft in diameter before it shears the bolt. The pickup is always running, I haven’t sheared that bolt but it’s almost like the hay can’t get from the pickup to the chamber. Any help would be appreciated | |
