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 faster the bale is turned in either direction, the faster it will be processed.
It may be necessary to change direction of the bale when loose debris builds on either side of the
bale chamber. This will remove the loose debris preventing spillage from the machine. This is
especially true when processing soft core bales. By reversing direction regularly, soft core bales
will process more evenly.
If the tractor has a flow control, adjust the oil flow so that the agitators run at a low rate.
Adjust the flow as needed to find the best speed to process a bale (approximately 30 rpm or 12
gpm flow). Turning bales too fast can result in rotor overloading resulting in flail “backslap”
which in turn causes flail and bushing damage. High agitator speed may also cause damage to the
hydraulic motors and excessive twine and material build-up on the agitators.
