Trouble Shooting

General Issues

ISSUE POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Bales coming over the drums • The platform is too high • Slow down the rotors or lower the platform once the bale has started feeding.

Feed ‘jams’ in the wiper • Super sticky bale • Wiper not adjusted correctly • Reverse the rotors (no more than 3 revolutions) and then forward again. • See WIPER PANEL

ADJUSTMENT section to set up wiper position.

Bale starts falling apart after removing the plastic or the net wrap, even when I try removing it carefully. • Fine chopped bale • Remove the covering just before lowering the bale onto the platform. • For very difficult bales, lower bale onto platform and remove the covering around the bale where you can, and collect the rest afterwards.

Round Bale Issues

ISSUE POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Bale rotates but hay will not feed. • Bale on backwards • Simply unload the bale and pick it up from the other direction and re-load.

The rotors turn OK but the bale won’t revolve. • Platform to low • Rotors going too fast

Outer layer of the bale separating from the inner layer • Dirty platform • The platform is not high enough. • The higher the platform the more weight of the bale is on the rotors. It may be too late if it has taken a gouge out of the bale. Remove the bale and try again. NOTE:

Fine chopped bales may fall apart. • If this occurs the platform should be cleaned and silicon sprayed on, as the residue can stop the bale rotating properly

Square Bale Issues

ISSUE POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Several biscuits coming off at once. • The platform is too high • Slow down the rotors or lower the platform once the bale has started feeding.

Bales are too long for the platform. • Bale longer than 6’6 • Purchase the optional extension kit for the platform. Order code: 7107012
