4.2 Forward Speed and PTO Speed
The forward speed during use depends on the following
factors:
– type of baling material
– moisture content of the baling material
– height of windrows
– ground conditions
• Match forward speed to prevailing conditions.
• Do not overload the round baler.
• Maintain a forward speed between 5 - 12 km/h
• When baling a round bale, reduce speed at the start
and finish of the baling process.
Short, crumbly straw:
• reduce the number of cutter blades or
switchoff the cutting system or remove blades
• switch off the PTO when preparing to turn
Small, flat windrows:
• reduce PTO speed
or
• increase forward speed
Straw varies greatly in structure. Even if no cutting
system is used, it is not always possible to work at the
highest possible pressure.
Adapt the round baler setting to prevailing conditions.
4.3 Filling the Bale Chamber
To attain a consistent bale density inside a round bale, the
bale chamber should be filled evenly. The swath width is an
important factor here.
The swath width is optimal if the swath has exactly the
same width as the bale chamber.
If the swath is wider than this, distortion of the round
bales may result. The round bale will be frayed on the
sides and difficult to eject from the bale chamber.
If the swath is narrow, the bale chamber can be filled
evenly only by driving onto the swath from alternate sides
(left/right). Do not zigzag: drive long distances on the left
and right side of the swath as shown in the illustration.
Too frequent changes and uneven filling of the bale
chamber will produce barrel-shaped round bales and
uneven bale density.
The current baling pressure is displayed by the baling
pressure indicator on the right side of the machine or on
the monitor if comfort controls are used.
