[QUOTE="mixed breed, post: 5822212, member: 69780"] Those Jaws drive you mad don't they? It's enough to cause premature wear to the door hinges. I had enough, So I cobbled this together. It was in my inventive youth when we were all round bales 15 odd years ago so it's seen some use and It still works. The question is how much of a bodger are you? 1 Warner electric ram, laid into a piece of angle. A rubber mount off a compressor fixed to a spring loaded pin. Serreted knife clamped in place to cut wrap, once the ram reaches its full hold stroke. [ATTACH=full]751640[/ATTACH] 1 roller switch which actuates the ram (to extend) when the table is tipped.  [ATTACH=full]751636[/ATTACH] 1 momentery switch (to retract it) installed into the turntable operation lever of the cable controls. [ATTACH=full]751642[/ATTACH] As dave w says, you'll need a slip ring to get the power to the table, as it was a test I just used a beacon jack plug and socket mounted inside the slewring. The socket stays still, while the plug turns. I had planned to upgrade it once I knew it would work.. But 9 thousand bales later it still works[ATTACH=full]751638[/ATTACH] there's also a bank of 4 relays which operate the circuits. Its a lot of work but the cut and hold is faultless and saves a lot of off and on-ing :) [/QUOTE]
