Feeding Out
1. Ensure that all plastic wrapping, mesh and loose string has been removed.
2. If a second bale is on the forks, ensure that the forks are in the correct positon to allow the bed
to tilt and feedout. Look at the fork position indicator on the drawbar and move the forks back if
required. (See previous page)
3. The bed may be tilted when feeding out to alter the delivery. The elevator chain tines are
aggresive enough to tear the bale.
4. Round bales rotate and unwrap depending on the original bale winding direction. If too much
is being fed out, tilt the bed back to allow the chains to create a flat on the bale; that will stop it
from rotating and unwinding too much.
5. Experiment with the machine and note the different effects depending on which way round the
bale was loaded and the various types and ages of feed.
6. If the elevator chain speed is too fast or too slow, you may need to alter the flow control on the
tractor remotes.
7. When feeding out on hillsides, keep the elevator on the high side of the hill; this reduces the risk
of roll-over and gives better control of the bale.
