9.5 Programming Electronic Controls To Suit Tractor
Figure 2. Control desk.
Each tractor has different flow rates from its hydraulic
system. The electronic controls are programmable via the
control desk to optimise the performance of the machine
depending on the oil flow that the tractor can deliver.
The following instructions will allow you to programme the
stop position (0) and high speed position (10) of the bed
speed dial. This process will allow maximum bed speed
without compromising the other services the valve block
can provide.
To perform this operation the following steps must be
followed exactly.
a) Turn on the tractor and engage the hydraulic
systems.
b) Set the tractor engine revs to a normal working
RPM.
c) With the control desk off, turn the bed speed dial
down to 0.5.
d) The following buttons must then be pressed & held
down in this order;
1 Bed forward.
2 Long chop.
3 On.
e) Hold the sequence of buttons for 8 seconds until
both the ‘bed forward’ and ‘on’ LED’s illuminate.
f) Release buttons and the LED’s should flash
alternately.
g) Using the long chop button to slow down,
and the short chop button to speed up,
slow the bed down to the point where it just stops.
Press the ‘off’ button to save the slow speed.
You have now programed the electronic controls for the
minimum bed speed.
To programme the electronic controls for the maximum
speed repeat the same process again BUT
Step c should
have the speed dial set to 10 and in Step g you should
increase the bed speed to the maximum desired.
IMPORTANT, if the tractor hydraulic oil flow is less than
the maximum required by the valve (60 litres per minute)
then setting the maximum bed speed to use the full flow
of oil will result in the other valve functions not working
when the bed is operating at maximum speed. The bed
speed may then need to be reduced from maximum to
allow operation of the chute / tailgate functions.
This can be programmed when setting the maximum
speed of the machine by slowing down the maximum bed
speed a small amount before switching off.
However, if full bed speed is required, please be aware
that the other valve functions may be compromised
during full bed speed operation.

LOADING
10.1 General
IMPORTANT. The strings or net should be removed from
the bale as it is being loaded into the machine. The
Tomahawk will shred some string but some will tend to
wrap around the crossbeater(s). Putting twine or netwrap
through the machine is not recommended as it will be
eventually spread on the land and pollute subsequent
crops.
DANGER. When removing string or netwrap from
bales never climb into the bale chamber or onto the
tailgate behind a bale unless the PTO has been
disengaged, the engine has been stopped, the key
removed and the machine come to rest.
WARNING. Do not stand above the machine on a
stack of bales or in a barn to load the machine
manually.
Bales can be loaded into the machine in two ways, using a
loader or by self
-
loading using the machine tailgate. If a
loader is used, simply load the bale into the bale chamber
such that it is fully inserted, but do not force it against the
crossbeater(s).
CAUTION. When loading the machine, it will be
necessary to run the bed chain to help self load the
bale into the chamber. However, excessive use of the bed
chain for this purpose may cause material to enter the rotor
housing resulting in a blockage during machine start up.
The tailgate is designed to load bales into the chamber of
the machine. Where a telescopic tailgate is fitted to the
Tomahawk 1010, it is important to only self load with it in
the retracted position.
To retract the tailgate:
1.) Lower the tailgate.
2.) Switch off the tractor and remove the key.
3.) Remove the extension retaining bolts.
4.) Slide the rear tailgate section towards the machine,
replace the retaining bolts in the retracted position.
