Processing Tips
•
1.5 to 2.5 minutes is considered normal processing time for the Bale King 6100.
•
Light brittle material like wheat straw may process faster. Tough bale material
like slough hay, green feed, or flax requires slower processing. Hoop grate
adjustment should be checked regularly.
•
Processing a bale too rapidly may cause excessive wear and tear.
• Upper grate position should be approximately 1/4” flail recession. Lower grate
position should allow 1-1/2” flail protrusion. Contact your Bale King dealer if this
can’t be achieved.
•
Excessive vibration of machine is an indication that the bale is being processed
too rapidly. To remedy this, either raise the hoop grate or slow down the agitators.
