Adjusting Pickup Height; Adjusting Number Of Wraps Per Bale - IBEX TX31 Operator's Manual

4.1.2 Adjusting Pickup Height

For optimal operation, the tines of the pickup should be about one (1) inch from the ground in normal
•
conditions. In bumpy or rocky fields, a clearance of up to two (2) inches or more may be suitable to
prevent damage to pickup components. For baling light hay cuttings or straw, the pickup may need to
be lowered.
• Adjust the pickup height by lifting it with the lift lever (Figure 28, A) and using the lower limit chain (B) to
keep it in place.
The pickup may be lifted and locked in the transport position by means of the lift lever and transport lock
•
(Figure 29, A).

4.1.3 Adjusting Number of Wraps per Bale

Netting is continuously unraveled from the roll until it is cut, therefore adjusting the timing of the cut will
•
determine how much net is wrapped around each bale.
This timing is metered in two ways:
•
a. The metering knife (Figure 30, A) travels along the threads of the metering rod (B) as the
wrapping process takes place. The longer it stays on the rod, the more net will unravel and wrap
around the bale. The rod can be turned and extended outward from the machine to achieve a
longer metering period and thus more wraps on the bale. The opposite is also true.
b. The amount of net on the bale can be increased on the fly if the operator engages the activation
lever for a longer period of time. See Section 4.2.2 to learn more about the wrapping procedure.
