General Information
Bale Density System
FIG. 26: The bale density is controlled by two springs (1)
and a hydraulic tension system. As the bale increases in
size, oil is forced from the rod end of the forming belts
tensioning cylinder (2) through a non-adjustable relief
valve (3) to the base end. The pressure in the hydraulic
tension system is held at 13 790 kPa (2000 psi).
Bale Size Indication
FIG. 27: The bale size indicator (1) is located on the front
right-hand side of the baler. As the bale increases in size,
the bale size indicator pointer will move down. Begin
wrapping the bale immediately when the bale has
reached the desired size.
The bale size indicator must be checked for accuracy for
each tractor used.
