@@Man-Time So as the hay bale turns in the baler the twine just gets sucked into the bale chamber and starts going around the bale as it turns? Where are the twine tubes pointing when the twine gets sucked in? Are they out at the sides where they start or are they together pointing straight at the bale when it happens? Thanks. Oh, and how sharp to the knives have to be?
Good advice and reminds me I need to take the front grill off my backhoe, loosen and rotate the oil cooler, and grease the drive shaft for the hydraulic pump
@@Man-Time Just changed the filters yesterday after it sat all summer waiting to find the magic combination of parts that would get the replacement (used) axle working on the machine. I'll be crawling under it 'end to end' greasing things up so thanks for that tip. (I had a vision of you physically flipping the oil cooler around so the dirt would blow off... it's been that kind of a morning!)
It seems with all the tech they have put into these new balers etc all they have done is make more problems!!! I still bale with a NH 850 chain baler. No electronics just a baler. I need to upgrade because parts are almost completely unavailable but man I hate all that electric sensors and junk!!!
Yes! The only reason to trade to new is lack of spare parts. Then I choose newish = oldest with spare parts available. Welcome to Man Time! Seems like you know the deal
@@Man-Time Yep I know the feeling. All that fancy equals big $$$ and trouble. Good while it works but a pain when it fails. Like the video was watching to see what older baler to maybe upgrade to in the near future. Thanks for the video.
Mine is controlled by hydraulic cylinders and there is a valve on the manifold to adjust pressure. But there are several factors. Wind row density, how fast you run through the field, and how much pressure your tractor can output to the baler
Ur right twine arm is missing the cone on its end
Congratulations on getting that thing working. It’s always gratifying to see the results of your labor pay off. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks! It was a fun learning project that hopefully is a useful tool for many years
Tie your end of twine to the silver colored angle arm attached to the knife or somewhere else back there behind the knife
How do I adjust density?
What grabs the twine and starts it onto the bale?
The simple answer is the hay/bale. I was asking myself the same question. It jus hangs out the end of the tubes and magically works every time

Yeah the bale wrap activates and the twine tubes come to center and gets sucked in. The knives just free of burrs. Hand file
It can take years to find all the zerks on a machine, when you think you have go em all one day sure enough you will find another one

You're tellin' me! I swear they grow like warts on any 'un greased surface' of a machine.
@@Man-Time Rotate the oil cooler?? My 455c isn't too different from your 555... you've caught my attention.
If you’ve never greased the u-joints/drive shaft coming off the front of the crank shaft, get on it!

You missed the first eye your string gone thu then it gose to the arm and cuters
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll double check for this years cuts
That was hard to watch
I know you know what you're. But as my dad told me years. The devil never sleeps. Can't you get anybody to be with you while you're working?
This baler has been trial by fire but it all works out in the end. 👍
