NOTICE
Risk of damage to the bale formation conveyor due to barrel-shaped round bales
Distorted and compacted round bales may damage the bale formation conveyor. Also, proper
silage production cannot be guaranteed.
Only bale evenly shaped and compressed round bales.
Observe the notices for even filling of the bale chamber.
To attain a consistent bale density inside a round bale, the bale chamber must be filled evenly.
Here, the swath width is important. The swath width is ideal if the swath has exactly the same
width as the bale chamber.
If swaths are too wide
The pressed round bales do not have an exact shape. Also the round bale is frayed on the
sides and difficult to eject from the bale chamber.
Make the swaths narrower on the field.
Reduce the baling pressure,
If the swath is too narrow
Even filling of the bale chamber is possible only if the swath is approached alternating from the
left and the right side. Too frequent changes and uneven filling of the bale chamber will produce
barrel-shaped round bales and uneven baling density.
RP000-062
Travel longer sections on the left respectively right side of the swath (1). Observe a length of
roughly
X=20 m
on one side.
Avoid swerving (2).
If the swath is small and flat
Reduce the PTO speed.
Increase the driving speed.
For very wet crops with little structure
If the crops are very wet and have little structure, this may increase slippage of the bale
formation conveyor. This can be reduced by taking the following measures:
Reduce the number of blades in the cutting unit or completely swivel out the blades,
.
Reduce the baling pressure,
