- Page 18 4 Operation 4.1 To The New Owner or Operator The H&S Bale Processor is designed to process round or square bales and place the material in a row or spread it over the ground. Be familiar with all operating and safety procedures before starting.
- Page 19 4.2 Pre-Operational Checklist 1. Lubricate the machine following the schedule outlined in section 5. 2. Only use a tractor with adequate power to operate machine (see section 7). 3. Ensure that the machine is properly attached to the tractor. Be sure that a retainer is installed in the drawbar pin and the safety chain is attached.

- Page 21 4.5 Controls 1. Deflector: The discharge deflector is equipped with a lock pin system to set the deflector position. Retract the lock pin and move the discharge deflector to its desired position. Secure by inserting the lock pin into the frame anchor hole.
- Page 22 4.5 Controls Continued Cradle Tilt System: The Processor is designed with a cradle inside the frame that tilts or rocks from side to side and moves the bale across the flails/rotor to prevent bridging. It is a simple self-actuating system that is adjustable for speed and stroke to accommodate any type of bale or material.
- Page 23 4.6 Attaching/Unhooking The drawbar of the Bale Processor is equipped with a two piece clevis style hitch. If the tractor is equipped with a clevis hitch, the clevis portion of the Bale Processor must be removed to prevent binding when operating on uneven terrain. Check hitch and clevis bolts on a weekly basis to make sure that they are properly tightened.
- Page 24 4.6 Attaching/Unhooking Continued . Connect the PTO shaft: a. Check that the PTO dr iveline telescopes easily and that the shield rotates freely. b. Attach the dr iveline to the tr actor by r etr act- ing the locking sleeve, slide the yoke over the shaft and push on the yoke until the lock sleeve clicks into position.
- Page 25 Field Operation 1. Lower bale tines to ground. 2. Back processor up with the bale tines sliding under the bale. 3. Slowly raise the tines until the bale clears the ground. 4. Remove strings, twine, or wrapping from the bale. 5.
- Page 26 Field Operation Continued 6. At this time a second bale can be picked up on the forks and brought along to the feeding area if desired. Important: When the second bale is loaded on the bale tines, make sure that the loaded bale does not interfere with the cradle operation.
- Page 27 Field Operation Continued 8. Stopping: a. Disengage cradle tilt hydraulic circuit. b. Allow rotor to run until no more material comes out of discharge opening. c. Slowly decrease engine RPM to idle. d. Disengage PTO drive and wait for rotor to stop turning. IMPORTANT Disengage PTO clutch and wait until rotor stops turning before pushing the PTO clutch lever into its off...
- Page 28 Field Operation Continued 9. Rotor Cleaning: The string or twine from the bales does get tangled around the rotor as the bales are processed. Check every few bales to make sure there is nothing entangled in the rotor and remove and clean as required. Twine can prevent the flails from swinging and affect function or rotor balance.
- Page 29 NOV 2016 Field Operation Continued 11. Flail Backslap: The rotor is designed with swinging flails that process the material as the cradle moves the bale across the rotor. Each flail is held in the extended position by the centrifugal force from the rotor rotation. Each flail must be free to swing as the material moves across the rotor.
- Page 30 4.8 Transporting 1. Be sure that the unit is hitched positively to the towing vehicle. Always use a retainer in the drawbar pin and a safety chain between the machine and the tow vehicle. NOTE: Use two safety chains when using a truck to transport the processor and cross them under the hitch when connecting (As shown in picture below).
- Page 31 Storage At the end of the season, the machine should be thoroughly inspected and prepared for storage. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent any unnecessary down time at the start of the next season. Follow this procedure: 1.
- Page 32 2. Lubricants: Your unit can oper ate at top efficiency only if clean lubr icants are used. Use clean containers to handle all lubricants. Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contaminants. Gearbox on Model 2958 takes 300ml of SAE 80W-90 Gear Oil.
- Page 33 NOV 2016 SERVICING INTERVALS 1. Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing. 2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit. 3. Replace and repair broken fittings immediately. 4. If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passageway.
- Page 34 5.2.2 Weekly or Every 50 Bales: 1. Grease the bale cradle bushings (four locations). 2. Grease the bale lift system bushings (eight locations). 3. Grease roller and rotor bearing (six locations). a. Rollers b. Rotor 4. Check gearbox for signs of wear or leakage. 5.2.3 Annually Or Every 3000 Bales: 5.

- Page 37 5.5 Maintenance & Adjustments 5.5.1 Rocking Bale Cradle System The Processor is designed with a system that automatically reverses the cradle direction during operation to evenly move the bale over the rotor for efficient processing. When maintaining the cradle system, follow this procedure: 5.5.1.1 Stroke: The cradle is designed to tilt from side to side during operation to prevent bridg- ing over the rotor and flails.
- Page 38 5.5 Maintenance & Adjustments Continued 5.5.1.3 Cradle Shifting Valve: The cradle shifting valve mechanism has been adjusted at the factory and should not require adjustment during normal use of the machine. If, however, the valve or other components need to be serviced, the following guidelines should be used to position the valve properly on its mounting plate: a.
- Page 39 5.5.2 Flail Backslap: Regardless of the type of bale, persistent hammer backslap is detrimental to processor operation. Hammer backslap at start-up is normal and disappears once the rotor is up to speed. If your processor experiences frequent hammer backslap, the cause should be investigated and rectified. In most cases reducing the cradle speed will correct the problem.
- Page 40 5.5.5 Shear Bolt: Each PTO driveline is equipped with a shear bolt on the implement end of the driveline. It is used to protect the Processor from jamming, plugging or overloading. Replace the shear bolt as needed. Be sure to use the appropriate shear bolt when replacing.
- Page 41 6 Troubleshooting The Bale Processor is designed to pick up bales and load them in the cradle where they are moved into a high speed rotor for processing. It is a simple and reliable system that requires minimum maintenance. In the following section we have listed potential problems, causes and solutions to the problems you may encounter.
