Tying process
The tying process consists of one rotation of the cam disc (2). The system automatically triggers
the knotting mechanism after the set bale length has been reached. In this process, the cam
disc rotates, presses the trigger roller out of the recess and continues to rotate until the trigger
roller slides into the recess again. While the cam disc rotates, the first knot (closing knot) is tied
at first and immediately after that the second knot (starting knot) is tied.
1st knot: Closing knot, ties the pressed big bale.
2nd knot: Starting knot, ties the initial knot for the next big bale.
Initiating the tying process manually
In case of maintenance, setting or repair work, the tying process can be manually initiated when
the tractor is not connected. The tying process is carried out by manually turning the flywheel
(3) in working direction (I);

Bale chute
The bale chute serves as an extension of the bale channel when it is unfolded. The next big
bale transports the big bale from the bale channel to the bale chute. From the bale chute, the
big bale is laid down on the field.
Bale ejector
The last big bale is transported to the bale chute via bale ejector.
How to operate the bale ejector depends on if the machine is equipped with the “Medium 1.0” or
the “Comfort 1.0” version,
