1450H Bale Carrier

Loading Bales
WARNING
Make sure area is clear before lowering bale lift-
arm. Failure to do so could result in injury or
death.
Align the tractor and bale carrier as indicated
in the pictoral for pick up method used. Slowly
approach the bale at 5 mph (8 km/h) while loading.
When bale is properly captured, begin to lift bale.
The bale carrier is designed to load bales with one
of three options. Refer to the appropriate section
for your option loading instructions.
NOTE: Before loading bale the pusher must be at
the front of the carrier deck.
Fixed Pickup Arm With Deflector
The fixed pickup arm with deflector allows the
bales to be picked up from either “End On” or
“Side On.” To pickup bales that are placed “End
On,” drive so the inner arm of the loading fork
is against the inner edge of the bale. The bale
will then be loaded onto the carrier in the same
direction as it was picked up.
The deflector rotates the bale 90 before it is lifted
up onto the carrier. Forward travel is used to rotate
the bale. Approach the bale so that the outer end
of the bale rides up on the bale deflector as the
loading arm moves under the bale.
The bale is loaded onto the carrier deck by acting
on the hydraulic controls until the bale rolls off
the pickup arm and onto the carrier beams.
NOTE: The bale should be contacted about 12”
(30 cm) from its outer end when using the
bale deflector.
Contacting the bale further to the inside may
result in damage to the deflector, bale lift arm or
bale.
