Bale King will provide you with years of trouble free operation. This is a complete safety, operation and parts manual for the Bale King 5100. The manual covers in detail how to safely and effectively use your new processor. The procedures outlined in this manual should be followed to ensure safe operation and longevity of your machine.
The operator must obey all safety labels and must maintain the proper shielding. A high percentage of drive-line injuries occur when safety shielding is missing or not functioning properly. DANGER: Contact with a rotating drive-line can cause serious injury or death. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

Rear Fork Lift Area DANGER: Stand clear of lift area. Do not stand under the forks unless safety locks are installed. Deflector Safety Lock: Unlock for Operation, Lock for Transport and Storage. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
1000 RPM. The processor must not run at any speed less than 1000 PTO RPM as it may result in the flails springing back against the rotor after they come in contact with the bale. This “backslap” Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

The hydraulic hoses may need to be adjusted to best fit your tractor, to avoid damage from rubbing on the PTO shaft shield. This can be done by loosing the bolt on top of the plastic hose clamp, then pushing or pulling on the hoses to adjust the length. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

PTO shaft. Storage: When not in use, cover or protect the drive shaft from the weather. When removed from the machine store both halves together to prevent damage. Check all components for proper function and lubrication before use. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.

• Remove the nylon bearing from the shaft by spreading it open. Shield Assembly: • Be sure to lubricate the groove in the inner yokes where the shield bearing rides. Reinstall shields in the reverse order that they were removed. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Lift discharge deflector An optional diverter kit (BMI # 25091) is available to allow the Bale King 5100 to run using only two sets of hoses. The function is then determined by a control box, mounted in the cab of the tractor.
• DO NOT install the insert if using a tractor with a hammer strap as this will bend the hitch pin NOTE: Make sure that the jack in on the outside stub for lifting, and the inside stub during transport. DO NOT lift the machine with the jack on the inside stub. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
For transport and safety when working under the forks, install the red safety locks onto the lift cylinder, and fasten in place using the supplied pin. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Support the hoops externally to prevent injury. NOTE: Upper grate position should be approximately 1/4” flail recession. Lower grate position should allow 1-1/2” flail protrusion. Contact your Bale King dealer if this can’t be achieved. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Deflector The Bale King 5100 is equipped with a hydraulic side deflector to change the discharge distance and distribution. It also comes with a flipping rubber flap for superior control of the spread pattern. Moving the deflector to the down position and flipping the rubber down (above left) will allow the hay to be laid in a windrow, or bunk feeder.
Page 17
The Bale King 5100 deflector comes with the additional feature of adjustable width: • First move the deflector to its lowest position. • Remove the seven bolts (2 front, 3 top, 2 rear) connecting the inner and outer deflector pieces.
Page 18
The Bale King 5100 deflector also has the ability to fold for more compact long term storage or long distance transport. • Move the deflector to its lowest position • Remove the seven bolts (2 front, 3 top, 2 rear) connecting the inner deflector and outer deflector •...
Turning bales too fast can result in rotor overloading resulting in flail “backslap” which in turn causes flail and bushing damage. High agitator speed may also cause damage to the hydraulic motors and excessive twine and material build-up on the agitators. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
• When the first bale has been processed, it is common practice to leave the rotor running at full speed when loading the second bale into the bale chamber from the rear forks. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Optional Diverter Kit The Bale King 5100 processor has an optional diverter kit (BMI # 25091) which allows it to operate using only 2 hydraulic remotes. The fork and deflector functions are then controlled by a cab-mounted switch box. This box must be wired up to the tractor's electrical system.
Optional Fine Chop Kit The Bale King 5100 processor has an optional fine chop knife kit (BMI # 22139) available to go into the lower tub area. This option is available if you require a finer cut on the material which you are processing such as slough hay and silage bales.
Optional Total Ration Grain Tank (5100TR) The Bale King 5100 has an available 40 bushel grain tank, which allows grain to be discharged on top of a windrow of processed hay, or independently out the right side of the machine. This bolt-on kit changes the processor to a 5100TR (Total Ration).

(approximately 500 mL) and checked on a regular basis. The oil should also be changed at the following intervals: • 25 hours after first use • 50 hours after first use • Every 300 hours or annually (which ever comes first) Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Note: Warranty does not cover damaged rims and hubs due to loose wheel bolts or flat tires. Tire warranty is covered by the tire manufacturer. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
• Loose straw and hay remaining in the machine may ignite causing a fire in the processor. • Excessive buildup of melted plastic. • Dry out bushings causing them to wear prematurely. NOTE: Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc. VOIDS warranty for any damage caused by twine burning in the processor. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Inspect the bolt, bushing, and the flail for wear. If wear is excessive, replace with new parts. Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc. recommends when changing flails to change in PAIRS (opposite each other). Processing bales with broken flails causes the rotor to be out of balance and excessive vibration may cause machine deterioration.
Transportation The Bale King 5100 can be safely towed on public roads, provided the following precautions are met: • Tow vehicle and hitch must be rated at least 5300 lb gross, and 1600 lb tongue. • NEVER exceed 40 km/h (25 mph).
A single agitator not functioning correctly • Replace failed parts stopping Coupler between motor and agitator broken • Increase flow rate in tractor or on flow Flow control valve set too low No grain Flow control valve Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
