5.5 Maintenance & Adjustments
5.5.1 Rocking Bale Cradle System
The Processor is designed with a system that automatically reverses the cradle
direction during operation to evenly move the bale over the rotor for efficient
processing. When maintaining the cradle system, follow this procedure:
5.5.1.1 Stroke:
The cradle is designed to tilt from side to side during operation to prevent bridg-
ing over the rotor and flails. Its objective is to tilt to one side until the bale is
almost ready to roll and then tilt to the other side.
a. Move the stroke stops on the bale cradle to set the stroke.
b. Move the stop up to increase the stroke and down to decrease stroke.
c. The stroke stops have their own stop tabs to prevent them from being set too
high. The factory setting will provide the best performance and is set at 1-1/2”
from the stop tabs.
NOTE: In general, soft, wet bales require more stroke than hard, well formed
bales. The type of material being processed will also affect the adjustment of the
total stroke.
5.5.1.2 Speed:
Use the tractor hydraulic system and cradle flow divider to set the tilting speed.
a. Set the cradle frame actuator arms to provide maximum stroke.
b. Set the tractor hydraulic system flow control to its 1/4 flow position.
c. Set the processor flow at maximum (7 on scale).
d. Start engine and engage cradle tilt circuit.
e. Time a full cycle. It should not be less than 8 seconds.
f. Use the tractor flow divider to set the cycle speed.
g. Use the Processor flow control to set the speed if the tractor is not equipped
with a flow control.
NOTE: The best results are obtained when it takes 10 to 12 seconds to go
through one complete cycle.
