  • Page 4: Drawbar Adjustment

    Drawbar Adjustment Adjustment of the drawbar hitch is critical to achieve optimal crop flow pattern for the pickup A = ground to hitch height • • B = ground to output PTO tractor Adjust the position and tighten the bolts to 304—335 Nm •...

  • Page 5: Pick Up Setup

    Pick Up Setup - Weight The crop is continuously picked-up and fed into the machine by the pick-up assembly. The baffle plate on the side of the pick up reel helps guide the material into the machine. Four centering augers move the material from the ends of the pick-up into the feeding system.
  • Page 6 Pick Up Setup - Height Gauge wheel adjustment To position the gauge wheels proceed as follows: • Put the machine on level ground and lower the pick-up. • Turn the pickup reel manually until pick-up tines (1) of one bar are positioned in their lowest position.

  • Page 7: Pre-Compression

    Pre-Compression Set the stuffer lever 2—3 notches from the rear for silage and gradually move the lever forward as the crop becomes drier Note: The setting of the stuffer trip linkage determines the size of the slice injected into the bale chamber and depends on crop conditions...

    Bale Formation Number of Slices Each slice wants to be 2 ½ - 3” in thickness For a 5ft silage bale = 60 inches = 20 – 24 slices per bale For an 8ft straw bale = 96 inches = 32 – 38 slices per bale Main Screen...

  • Page 11: Operating Tips

    Operating Tips Adapt forward speed to the nature of the crop to be baled, as well as to the size of the windrow. Observe the capacity indicator on the monitor and strive to have a consistent level slightly above the 1, 2 or 3 mark on the indicator. When the pointer is just above a level mark, this will guarantee: •...

  • Page 12: Packer Cutter Machines

    Packer Cutter Machines In silage, cutting long grass crop will improve the bale shape and density allowing a good crop conservation. In addition, the bale will be easier to feed out. Also in long straw, cutting offers the advantage of making denser and well-shaped bales, which makes them easier to spread out.
  • Page 13 Packer Cutter Machines Knife removal/installation To remove the knives, proceed as follows: Retract the knives hydraulically. Lower the pickup onto the ground. Completely lower the windguard on its suspension blocks. Pull the lock handle (2) and rotate the knife latch (1) clockwise to move the eccentric shaft which secures the knives.

  • Page 14: Rotor Cutter Machines

    Rotor Cutter Machines Operation On these machines the incoming crop from the pickup (1) is forced by the rotor (2), which is cleaned by scrapers, further into the pre-compression chamber and against a number of knives (3) which are installed in a drawer at the bottom of the pre-compression chamber.
  • Page 15 Rotor Cutter Machines Knife protection Each knife (1) is individually protected by an overload spring (2), which acts on break-away linkage (3). Any overload, overfeeding or foreign object (stones, branches, etc) will cause the affected knife to break away against the force of the spring.
  • Page 16 Rotor Cutter Machines Knife removal/installation To remove the knives, proceed as follows: Open the lock-out valve. First give a shot of oil pressure by means of the tractor hydraulic control in the direction of drawer lift to get some clearance in the drawer frame latches. Pull the safety lock (4) upwards to enable the latching hooks (2) to turn away.
  • Page 17 Rotor Cutter Machines Knife removal/installation To install the knives, proceed as follows: Install the knives in the knife drawer (1). NOTE: Make sure the knife is properly seated with the notch well engaged over the holding shaft below the pre-compression chamber bottom.

  • Page 18: Bale Compression

    Bale Compression The plunger (10) moves the charge flake back and compresses it against the bale to be formed in the bale chamber (11). Both bale chamber side doors (12) and top door (13) are hinged and can move under the action of two density cylinders (14).
  • Page 19 Bale Compression Stuffer trip sensitivity lever The setting of the stuffer trip sensitivity lever (1) determines the size of the charge or flake injected into the bale chamber. Moving the lever will increase or decrease the spring tension. Increasing the spring tension will result in feeding bigger flakes.
  • Page 20 Bale Compression Bale Density System The system uses its own hydraulic circuit which is independent from the tractor hydraulics. A separate oil reservoir and oil filter are installed on the left-hand side of the machine. Components: Pump Density Valve Oil Filter Oil reservoir Density Cylinders Oil Cooler...
  • Page 21 Bale Compression Bale Density Operation To use the automatic bale density control proceed as follows: Start up the normal operations of the machine and engage the PTO (Power Take-Off) drive. Select "Automatic" in the operation mode of the monitor. Use the keys ( +) or ( -) to enter a preset bale density value.

  • Page 22: Hay Dogs Inspection

    Hay Dogs Inspection When the plunger adds a flake of crop to the bale and returns, hay dogs are provided to hold the flake in shape. Fixed hay dogs (1) are bolted to the bottom of the bale chamber. Pivotal and spring-loaded hay dogs (2) are installed at both sides and at the top of the bale chamber.

  • Page 25: Knotting System Operation

    Knotting System Operation While the bale travels rearward in the bale chamber, it activates the bale length metering wheel (15). When the desired bale length is reached, a mechanism will trip the knotters (16) and needles (17), which are timed with the plunger (10). At each side of the machine, twine balls are provided.
  • Page 26 Knotting System Operation Knotter monitoring flags In addition to the electronic information supplied by the monitor, knotter monitoring flags (1) can be observed by the operator during and shortly after the knotter cycle as follows. During bale formation the monitoring flags should stay in the DOWN position and raise partially between tying of the first and second knots.
  • Page 27 Knotting System Operation Knotter monitoring flags The monitoring flags move together except when a malfunction occurs or when the knotter is not adjusted correctly. A malfunction will normally be indicated by one monitoring flag out of time with the other flags. When a malfunction occurs or an adjustment is not correct, stop the machine and correct the problem.

  • Page 28: Twine Storage

    Twine Storage During the knotting cycle each of the knotters is fed with two twines: one top twine and one bottom twine coming through the needle eye. The twine balls that are used to feed the needles will be used up approximately twice as fast as the balls that supply twine to the top of the bale.
