-12 V / Ground Switched) An optional grain tank kit is available to allow the Bale King 6300 to carry 40 bushels of grain on the side of the machine (see page 21). If this kit is installed, additional motors are added to the hydraulic functions.
Bale King 6300 Operator & Parts Manual Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc. Hose Holder The hydraulic hoses may need to be adjusted to avoid damage from rubbing on the PTO shaft. This can be done by lifting or lowering the hose holder. Loosen the pin handle, then lift the end of the hose holder to drop the pin into the slot.
• ALWAYS connect the safety chain during road transport Torflex Axles The Bale King 6300 features a pair of Torflex axles, which provide suspension and allows a smooth ride over rough terrain. There are 3 available mounting locations available. From factory, axles are set up in the middle position.
Bale King 6300 Operator & Parts Manual Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc. Loading Bales When loading bales into your Bale King bale processor, the following procedure should be followed: • Position the processor so that the back of the deck is aligned with the center of the row of bales you wish to load.
Loading Fork The loading fork on the Bale King 6300 can handle up to 6.5ft bales. The loading fork is designed to load bales into the tub while the deck is inclined or flat. The fork design allows an operator to load all six bales without repositioning the bed tilt.
Bale King 6300 Operator & Parts Manual Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc. Hoop Grate Adjustment There are eight adjustment settings for the hoop grate on the bale processor. These settings determine the rate of feed of the bale you are processing and the how fine the cut will be.
Bale King 6300 Operator & Parts Manual Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc. Agitators The Bale King is equipped with a flow divider/combiner and two hydraulic motors for turning the bale. Once the main rotor is turning at full speed the bale can be turned in either direction to begin processing.
The Bale King 6300 deflector will bunk feed to a distance of 35” from the tire when in the lowest position. When the deflector is not folded, the transport width of the machine is 9’-10”.
Page 22
For transport and storage, the deflector lock should be put in place by swinging the lock as shown and fastening with a lynch pin. The Bale King 6300 deflector also has the ability to fold for more compact long-term storage or long-distance transport.
Optional Fine Chop Kit The Bale King 6300 processor has an optional fine chop knife kit (BMI # 32117) available to go into the lower tub area. This option is available if you require a finer cut on the material which you are processing such as slough hay and silage bales.
Optional Total Ration Grain Tank (6300TR) The Bale King 6300 has an available 40-bushel grain tank, which allows grain to be discharged on top of a windrow of processed hay, or independently out the right side of the machine. This bolt- on kit changes the processor to a 6300TR (Total Ration).
