block can provide.
To perform this operation the following steps must be
followed exactly.
a) Turn on the tractor and engage the hydraulic
systems.
b) Set the tractor engine revs to a normal working
RPM.
c) With the control desk off, turn the bed speed dial
down to 0.5.
d) The following buttons must then be pressed & held
down in this order;
1 Bed forward.
2 Long chop.
3 On.
e) Hold the sequence of buttons for 8 seconds until
both the 'bed forward' and 'on' LED's illuminate.
f) Release buttons and the LED's should flash
alternately.
g) Using the long chop button
and the short chop button
slow the bed down to the point where it just stops.
Press the 'off' button to save the slow speed.
You have now programed the electronic controls for the
minimum bed speed.
To programme the electronic controls for the maximum
speed repeat the same process again BUT Step c should
have the speed dial set to 10 and in Step g you should
increase the bed speed to the maximum desired.
Important, if the tractor hydraulic oil flow is less than
the maximum required by the valve (60 litres per minute)
then setting the maximum bed speed to use the full flow
of oil will result in the other valve functions not working
when the bed is operating at maximum speed. The bed
speed may then need to be reduced from maximum to
allow operation of the chute / tailgate functions.
This can be programmed when setting the maximum
speed of the machine by slowing down the maximum bed
speed a small amount before switching off.
However, if full bed speed is required, please be aware
that the other valve functions may be compromised
during full bed speed operation.

10.1 General
to wrap around the crossbeater(s). Putting twine or
netwrap through the machine is not recommended as it will
be eventually spread on the land and pollute subsequent
crops.
the engine has been stopped, the key removed and the
machine come to rest.
Bales can be loaded into the machine in two ways, using a
loader or by self-loading using the machine tailgate. If a
loader is used, simply load the bale into the bale chamber
such that it is fully inserted, but do not force it against the
crossbeater(s).
for this purpose may cause material to enter the rotor
housing resulting in a blockage during machine start up.
to slow down,
The tailgate is designed to load bales into the chamber of
the machine. Where a telescopic tailgate is fitted to the
Tomahawk 1010, it is important to only self load with it in
the retracted position.
to speed up,
To retract the tailgate:
1.) Lower the tailgate.
2.) Switch off the tractor and remove the key.
3.) Remove the extension retaining bolts.
4.) Slide the rear tailgate section towards the machine,
replace the retaining bolts in the retracted position.
Retaining
Self loading is not recommended where an extension has
been fitted to a standard tailgate.
10.2 Self Loading
If the machine is trailed make sure the drawbar is securely
15
The strings or net should be removed from the bale
as it is being loaded into the machine. The
Tomahawk will shred some string but some will tend
When removing string or netwrap from bales never
climb into the bale chamber or onto the tailgate
behind a bale unless the PTO has been disengaged,
Do not stand above the machine on a stack of bales
or in a barn to load the machine manually.
When loading the machine, it will be necessary to run
the bed chain to help self load the bale into the
chamber. However, excessive use of the bed chain
