FEEDING OUT
As our Bale Feeders will operate from either side, there is no need to concern yourself which way you place
the bale in the cradle.
While feeding out, if the bale is hard to start or while it is unrolling the bale slows down, put more revs on the
tractor to speed up the bale feeder. Slow the revs down once the bale is feeding easier, aggression pins can
help.
We recommend a maximum of 50 litres of oil. If you put a bigger oil flow through the motor and swap the
direction of the feeder very quickly, you may damage the motor. At a faster flow, you will also create far
greater wear and tear on the machine. You can also split the o-rings in the valves which can cause the bale to
drop when travelling.
AGGRESSION PINS
These are supplied to assist breaking out a hay bale which is hard to get started, has a very hard centre or a
moldy wrapped bale. They
are not used in normal operation
. If required, insert pins in the ends of the bale
as the pin holes allow. Restart your machine and the aggression pins will break into the bale and allow it to
unwind.
Sequence Cartridges
These are set at 2 ½ turns out. The purpose of these is to have the main left ram operating first before the
smaller tip ram. If these are out too far, the second ram may operate before the main ram is fully out.
Return Relief Valve
Set all the way out, this valve is set at 50 PSI and will only go to 300 PSI when fully out. The purpose of this
valve is to let the small ram go into float when pulling the forks out of the bale. If it is screwed in too much it
will try and lift the bale when pulling out. This is just enough pressure in it to flip the forks over to load again.
