7.7_FIELD PREPARATION
To ensure the maximum efficiency during collection and baling of the various products we advise operating as
described below:
7.7.1_CONDITIONING
It is important for the forage to be conditioned to ensure uniform humidity content in stems and leaves.
Long stem crops, which are difficult to work with, elastic and tough, must be conditioned in order to break the
stems and reduce their resistance to rolling when the bale is being formed.
To bale maize stalks it is advisable to defibrate for better bale formation and density;
do not defibrate too
fine!
7.7.2_HUMIDITY CONTENT
The humidity content of the product must not exceed 20% to allow baling otherwise the forage will deteriorate
with consequent loss and cannot be conserved well. If the humidity content is acceptable proceed with baling.
7.7.3_SWATHES
The preparation of the swathes is very important for obtaining a good formation of the bales.
When the forage has been cut and dried the swathes must be formed.
The swathes can be single or double and of width
equal to the width of the pick-up on your machine in
order to make the best use of the round baler's
capacity.
When double swathes are made it is important that
they be left beside each other and not piled into one
heap.
Single swathes can be 0.50÷0.60m wide, but in this
case a “
zigzag”
guide must be followed in order to
feed the press in a way that takes advantage of the
entire collecting width of the baler and forms a bale
of the right size.
IMPORTANT!
It is very important to form swathes with the forage well distributed and of width equal to the
pick-up mounted as this will help the formation of the bale.
