  • Page 11: Operation

    Operation: The WTR has three functions controlled by a switch box in the cab. Bale Squeeze – Used to squeeze the bale and position the hooks and knife into position to grab and cut the bale twine/wrap. Rotate – Used to rotate the squeeze arms out of the way when handling bales that are tightly stacked Cut –...

  • Page 12: Best Practices

    Best Practices Position the bale squeeze arms so that they are level with the bale and slightly below the bale center line. After cutting the bale covering, open the bale squeeze arms fully to put some tension into the twine/wrap. Next rotate the arms upward to pull the wrap free from the bale.

  • Page 13: Adjustments

    Adjustments: The hook bank can be moved in/out of the left arm to adjust how deep the hooks are reaching into the bale. For twine wrapped bales it is best to have the hooks reach further into the bale to ensure they get behind each string.

  • Page 14: Knife Replacement

    Knife blade replacement Use the following procedure to safely remove the knife cartridge for blade replacement Open the arms at least 1 foot from their fully closed position then shut off the vehicle engine and remove the key. The knife blade is very sharp! Wear proper WARNING protective equipment while handling the knife.
  • Page 15 Remove the six bolts (A) from the inside face of the cartridge then remove the cartridge taking extra care to ensure that the knife blade remains inside the car- tridge. You will have to tip the cartridge downward to clear the arm frame. Set the cartridge on a sturdy work surface and re- move the linkages (B) that connect the knife holder to the cartridge.
  • Page 16 Using a T30 wrench remove the screws (A) holding the blade to the knife holder. When re-installing the blade make sure to match the angle of the blade to the angle of the knife holder at the front and rear. Use locktite on all bolts and tighten them to 75 in- lbs.

  • Page 17: Hook Replacement

    Hook replacement Use the following procedure to safely remove the hook cartridge for hook replacement Be aware of pinching CAUTION hazards while handling the hook cartridge. Open the arms at least 1 foot from their fully closed position. Ensure that the hooks are fully retracted. Shut off the vehicle engine and remove the key.
  • Page 18 Set the cartridge on a sturdy work surface. The hooks can be removed one at a time by removing the two bolts that attach them to the pivot frame and actuator arm. It is recommended that you replace the bushing when replacing the hook. When re-installing the hooks, tighten the bolt (A) that passes through the pivot bushing snugly but only tighten the bolt (B) on the actuation arm tight...

  • Page 19: Spear Installation

    Spear Installation The WTR comes with and three upper (A) and an optional four lower (B) spear locations. Up to seven spears in any combination can be in- stalled. Three spears are included. An additional fourth spear is included with the optional lower mount.
  • Page 20 WTR. It is advisable to have these hoses made prior to beginning the system setup. Hillco recommends a 3/8 inch service hose with 90° -8 (1/2”) SAE Oring Face seal fittings on one end and the quick coupler option of your choice on the other end.
  • Page 21 Step 2: Rotating the center assembly: Using one of the spears as a lever, rotate the center assembly upwards to provide access to the rear of the frame. The spear can rest against the ground to help sta- bilize the center assembly. D-211027DMC01 November, 2023...
  • Page 22 Step3: Installing service hoses: Locate and remove the two caps from the fittings on the rear of the manifold. (It may be easier to remove the manifold cover using a T45 torx bit). Connect the hoses to the fittings at the rear of the manifold then route the service hoses towards the right side of the center frame. The hoses should exit under the right side of the manifold cover.
  • Page 23 Step 4 Installing loader adapter Locate the loader adapter kit. It should include a left and right adapter plate of your choice along with 12ea. ¾-10 x 1-3/4 bolts and nylock nuts. (A) Position the left plate between the mounting ears at the rear of the frame and install the 6 bolts from the inside and start the lock nuts.
  • Page 24 Step 6: Installing Knife Arm. Place a nail or screw driver through the hole in the knife cartridge lip (A) to prevent the knife blade from extending accidentally. Cut the zip tie (B) holding the arm hoses in place and set the hoses out of the way for now. D-211027DMC01 November, 2023...
  • Page 25 Lower the center frame with your loader tractor and position the arm near the right side mount plate so that it can be bolted in place. There are two positions to install the arms. The narrow posi- tion (shown) is optimal for round bales, while the wide position is intended for large square bales that are 8 feet long or longer.
  • Page 26 Step 7: Installing the Hook Arm Cut the zip tie holding the arm hoses to the mount- ing plate and set them aside. Position the hook arm on the shipping pallet and alight it with the left side mount. As with the right side, there are two positions for mounting the arm.
  • Page 27 Step 8: Installing hose guides: Locate the 4 hose guides from the box as well as 6ea. 5/16 bolts and nuts. Install the hose guides as shown and tighten. Note that the bolts must be left loose enough to allow the guides to move freely as the arm extends and retracts.
  • Page 28 Step 9: Connecting arm cylinder hoses: Remove the rear cover from the side of the hook arm to gain access to the hydraulic cylinder inside the arm. Route the hoses from the center frame, over the top of the guides and through the two holes in the top of the arm.
  • Page 29 Ram mounts. You will need to provide 12 volts – 5 amps to the orange wire and ground to the black wire. Hillco recommends connecting the switch box to a keyed power source to avoid accidentally draining your tractors battery if the switches are left on.
  • Page 30 Connect the extension harness to the manifold harness (already installed) then route the free end down the side of your loader to the switch box in the cab and connect the two together. Be sure to secure the harness with zip ties so it won’t rub or pinch as the loader is used.
  • Page 31 It is normal for the arms to chatter as the air is bled from the system. Once the arms are fully extended Hillco recommends that a dry lubricant, such as graphite, be sprayed lib- erally onto the arm tubes.
