3 Bale Kit Loading Sequence:
1. Position the tractor and the Bale King so as to be lined up to back straight into the row of
bales.
2. Ensure the bale clamp is opened fully.
3. When close to the bale, lower the forks
completely (you will feel a light
vibration as the forks bottom out
against the frame).
4. Back completely under the first bale.
5. Lift the first bale, allowing the tractor
to roll forward slightly while lifting the
bale. This is because the lifting fork
moves away from the machine slightly
when loading.
6. If you are loading from the same row,
you can dump the bale into the machine
and back straight into the second bale.
If you are going to a different stack for
the second bale, only raise the first bale
enough to clear the ground. Move to the next row and align the machine to the bale
before dumping the bale into the tub. This gives you good visibility to line up to the
second bale.
7. Once you have the first bale in the tub
and the second bale on the forks, raise
the second bale to a horizontal position
(parallel with the ground) or slightly
above. If you see the second bale press
on the bale in the tub, you have lifted
too high, and need to lower the bale.
