Operation (Continued)
Loading Round Bales
1 Release the tine frame arm. This will swing upright under
spring tension, allowing clear access for loading the bale.
2 Lower the forks until tips are flat on the ground and reverse
gently under the bale to be picked up.
Refer Fig 5.
3 Take the weight of the bale and drive forward a short
distance with it before lifting the forks so as to clear any
obstructions the forks may have run under.
4 Raise the bale to clear the batten and non-return spikes
and reverse over the feedout bed until the bale is
approximately in the middle of the floor.
Caution:
Lower the bale gently onto the floor to avoid
damaging the battens.
5 Drive forward withdrawing the forks. Lower the forks to
align them with the chassis member guides and reverse,
inserting the forks until the catch engages. This also
automatically re-engages the hydraulic drive coupling.
Refer Fig 6.
Important:
Cut and remove string and plastic wrapping
before attempting to feed out.
Feeding Out Round Bales
1 Bales should be fed out over the knife roller. If the bale is
badly deformed, i.e. egg shaped, it may initially refuse to
turn. Rock it from side to side using the hydraulics and it
will eventually rotate. Once the first few layers are gone the
bale should turn freely.
2 Experiment with the machine and note the different effects
depending on which way round the bale is loaded and the
various types and ages of the feed.
Note: The electronic controls are not required for feeding
out over knife edge roller; control is by tractor hydraulics
and the bed is mechanically linked to the knife roller. It is
normal practice to feed round bales out over the knife roller
and square bales out over the elevator.
