Bale King 6100 – Operator and Parts Manual 11 / 65
Features
Power Take-Off
The Bale King processor has a PTO shaft that is splined on both ends. The implement
end of the shaft uses a 1-3/4"-20 spline with wedge lock bolts. Install onto the
gearbox and tighten the wedge bolts. The bolts must be tightened to 160 ft-lb of
torque and must be re-tightened after 8 hrs. of use .
The tractor end of the PTO shaft is a 1-3/8"-21 spline quick detach constant velocity
joint. An optional 1-3/4"-20 spline yoke is available through your Bale King dealer.
The Bale King processor is designed to use a minimum of 100 HP . The drive shaft is
shear-bolt protected. The machine must be operated at 1000 PTO RPM. Idling back
can cause premature wear to rotor.
Spread yokes and twisted drive shafts are signs of overload, not a manufacturer’s
defect and therefore not covered by warranty.
DO NOT
operate the machine using a spline adaptor. Use of adaptors will
void
warranty
due to damage caused to the tractor PTO, PTO driveshaft, or implement.
DO NOT
operate at 540 rpm, or use any kind of adaptor to connect to a 540 rpm spline.
Always
ensure that the PTO shaft is attached securely to the tractor. When the processor
is not hooked to the tractor, secure the shaft to the PTO holder.
DO NOT
transport the processor without securing the PTO shaft. It may bounce off the
holder and be damaged.
Always ensure that the tractor drawbar is adjusted to
16”
from the end of the tractor PTO
shaft to the center of the hole in the drawbar.
