BIG BALE Transtacker Extra, Operation And Maintenance Manual

2. Approach the next bales in the same manner and repeat
the pickup cycle. Depending upon bale size, it will be noted
that the hooked table will be full after 2 or 3 bales (Fig. 23) .
3. The last bale onto the table will push the first against the
stop bar and will squeeze the bales tight together. If for
some reason the bales are not aligned correctly then
re-pressing forward on the joystick (with the pickup at the
top of its cycle) will cause the pickup to return, with the bale,
towards the ground. Releasing the joystick will resume the
pickup cycle and thus effect a re-cycle. This is necessary
with bales of an extreme rectangular shape, to ensure good
and tight alignment of the bales on the hooked table.
Note: You can manually override the automatic pickup cycle
at any stage.
Note: See 6.1 page 25 for correct height adjustment.

1. Follow the instructions as for the Pickup (Automatic).
2. When the bale is in the correct position, hold down the
top left button and push the joystick right (Fig. 24) until the
tines penetrate the bale sufficiently.
3. When it is considered that the tines are in sufficiently,
keep the top left button held down and push the joystick
forward
(Fig. 25)
and the pickup will raise the bale.
4. When the pickup is at the top of its stroke, stop pushing
the joystick forward, keep holding down the top left button
and move the joystick left (Fig. 26) to withdraw the tines.
As the tines move out of the bale, keep the top left button
held down and pull the joystick back (Fig. 27) to bring the
pickup back to its start position.
