- Howdy folks! Thanks a bundle for stopping by our channel today! Come along with us as I show how we prep our Farm Maxx / Redlands FMRB-330 small round 2x2 hay baler for baling hay. This is a viewer-requested video showing the steps we take to prep our baler after winter storage and actually, before each baling. There's no wrong or right way to prep your baler as long as you ensure all the fluids are at appropriate levels, twine routing system is correct, etc. We hope this helps a new baler owner or even a seasoned veteran of these machines can pick up a tip that maybe they have not thought of before. Thanks a bundle for watching and if you havent already, give us a like and consider subscribing to our channel. We pray God blesses you and your family!

I agree with the oiler, I run 10-40 in mine also. The valve, I open mine to about the 4 o'clock spot and all the chains still have oil on them. I did the same thing as you, I opened up the oil and emptied that first tank after about five or six bales. This year I put my bale density to the tighter setting from the factory medium setting. Does make a tighter heavier bale. But, I think it might have induced some chain stretch because right at the end of making a bale I could hear the chain skipping on the sprockets a couple times. I opened those doors and found the chains to be looser than they should and needing adjustment. I have found that it likes the hay to be shorter than longer. I was forced to hold off on cutting my back field and it gets close to clogging itself up pulling in long strands of hay. Even going slow, itll literally pull it in from 2-3ft in front of the pick up tines. What size twine did you find? And i still need to get that tow bar setup like yours. Great video and God Bless to you and yours.
That sounds great! My baler picks up long stemmy hay no issues and doesn’t seem to cause any problems that I’ve noticed. Thicker and larger the windrows, slower you have to go or you’ll jam it up.
I haven’t tested the new to me sisal twine yet so I don’t know how it’s gonna actually work, but all indications point that it should be great. I’m planning on using it for 2nd cut on our test plot hay soon and if it does great, I’ll share that info then. Don’t really wanna put it out there untested.
Thanks for watching, appreciated!
❤❤VIDEO ❤❤great information ❤
Thanks a bundle!
Excellent video and very helpful. I have just purchased a mini baler and this was essential viewing. Thank you.
Thanks a bundle, glad it was useful to someone!
Very good video, similar to the ibx tx31. It's not exact, but very close.
Congratulations on the rain!
We had to take the back off to clean it out. What a job.
Thanks, and a good reminder for those who have one.
Thanks Tom and Mrs Sally!
There’s a few different models out there that’s a little different but lots similar. Then there a couple that’s quite different, but a lot of prep things can be applied anyhow.
No easy on-off back cover is a bad design in that particular area of the balers, no two ways around it.
Hope you guys have had a great 4th holiday!
thank you very much for the video great help
Thanks and glad it helps! And thanks for the good suggestion!
Thank you would be greatly appreciated I tried just 40 w non detergent,it seems like is not flowing really well. The other question I have is how is the best and most accurate way to check the oil level in the mower the Fmd 165 . But good news wife and I finally got some good bales in the barn today thank u to you for all your help. The baler did fine mower did great and a couple issues with the enrossi 4 wheel rake maybe I’m going to slow. The little fields seem hard with that rake or maybe just going fast enough?? But it is coming together.
@@BertSchmidt-jt5go I use a clean stick or longer bolt to check the gear oil level in my drum mower. Just remove the fill cap and use something clean for a dipstick, straight down and straight up and measure the mark of gear oil on the stick. Your owners manual should tell you how much oil should be in the gear box.
What kind or brand of 10/40 non detergent oil is everyone using all I can find is straight 40 and 30 non detergent
Please help thank you greatly appreciated.
If you find SAE straight 40W in non-detergent, I would think that would work just fine in the auto-oiler on the Farm Maxx baler. I’ll look later at the name on the bottle of what I have (I think it’s Warren brand, not positive)
@@BertSchmidt-jt5go also if you can’t find non detergent 10w40, I don’t think it would be detrimental to use regular motor oil.
