Bale Size Indication; Bale Full Audible Alert - MASSEY FERGUSON MF1734 Service Manual

General Information

Bale Size Indication

FIG. 10: A gauge (1) on the right-hand side of the
machine has reference marks to use in determining bale
size. An indicator or pointer connected to the right-hand
bale density torque arm moves downward under the
gauge as the bale increases in size. The marks are for
reference only and do not indicate the exact bale size. To
know the relationship of the diameter of the bale to the
bale size gauge, stop and measure as the indicator
reaches the reference marks while building the first bale.

Bale Full Audible Alert

FIG. 11: The baler is equipped with a mechanical
audible alert mechanism (1) that tells the operator when
the bale has reached full size and is ready to be wrapped.
The audible alert rod contacts the sprocket (2) that is
connected to the right-hand end of the front bale density
roll. The audible alert mechanism makes a sharp
intermittent sound which is easily heard. The operator
must begin the wrapping procedure as soon as the
audible alert sounds. The audible alert will continue to
sound until the bale is discharged from the bale chamber.
If the operator continues to fill the bale chamber after the
audible alert sounds, the idler is lifted off the pickup drive
belt by the clutch rod to disengage the pickup assembly,
which stops the feeding of the baler.
