Yep the buggers sometimes do that here as well. Maybe not a bad thing as it forces me to clean the water troughs out regularly.Sometimes i do that, but they always seem to push the straw in the water tank, every time

Is that the netter with the adjustable tension from the cab ?Bring this back to life,
1st time out this year the other day, first 50 or so bales no bother but after that it refused to feed net into bale chamber.
all the rollers That net goes round nice and shiny and rubber one pulling net in as it should but net not making it to the bale chamber.
anything I’m missing?

No that’s on the newer versionIs that the netter with the adjustable tension from the cab ?
No that side of things is all running Bob on.Has it got a build up of chaffy dust in the right hand door where the belt that drives the better is?
Good starting spot.
If you get off and look while it should be netting the belt be slipping because chaff holds tensioner off
Feed roller swinging inThere's 4 rubber strips these bend back sometimes. Make sure these are straight.
Another thing is make sure feed roller is swinging in. Ours stopped doing that.
Make sure the knife isn't in. This doesn't let net into chamber.
Feed roller swinging in
tell me more, your second person who’s said that and I think its the problem but not entirely sure how it works
Net I can reach down over top of plate that goes over net roll between net rollers and belts and get hold of it and pull it further into chamber.If you look in the side where duplex chain turns rotor you can see its range of travel. Net can go round the end of roller not letting if fully swing in. Also check the belt is okay that drives the roller. Take the belt off and turn it by hand, have had bearing go on that roller too.
If you put it into manual and just power net drive, where is net getting too, bunching up?
That moving feed in roller isn't rotating I've had that before.Net I can reach down over top of plate that goes over net roll between net rollers and belts and get hold of it and pull it further into chamber.
Obviously when baler is shut off
Kicking it also works well ...Have you tried shouting at it?
Yep tried all the usual swear words,Have you tried shouting at it?
Yep tried all the usual swear words,
I used to get this a lot on my first McHale I had to stop till the pickup cleared then net manually for no apparent reason but it workedNo that’s on the newer version
I must say, whilst not the biggest disappointment I can’t see what all the fuss about McHale is. I bought a baler on recommendations here and sold it after the first season and the mower whilst being strong is massively heavy! I won’t bother looking there again.I don't like the fact that the balers with the extra bars welded on the intake roller only last so long!!! Mc hale told me that was a permanent fix! As for shining the baler up I've done over 6000 bales in the 1st season, it wasn't any better. Time will tell wether the mod works,
You have done everything that I would have,I cant suggest any thing else. As I've posted before probably the biggest disappointment in machinery purchase I've ever had!!.
