Bale wrapper, problems,

[Greythundercloudys]

Obviously this is not the time of year for using my wrapper but lv wonder why my Connor wrapper seems to draw the bale over on to the plastic bale holder, this in turn breaks the plastic, the wrapper seems to be level, it's so annoying, could the table be twisted, had the autobox fixed and it works great but this problem is such a pain. It doesn't do it all the time.

[Greythundercloudys]

Claas baler, nice big round bales.

Cones missing at end of rollers??

 

[Greythundercloudys]

No, it draws the bale over to the cone, this in turn makes holes in the wrap, the bale doesn't sit where its put buy the loader. It pulls it over buy about 10 turns.

are the rolllers parallel

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Yes, l would thinks so, lv nearly thought of getn another, but got the box fixed on it, so want to persevere with it.

 

[wdah/him]

has the conor belts for the bale to sit on, maybe one is different length, we replaced a pair on out McHale, both outside to allow for wear in old belts and to not end up with the problem you are having of one side the bale turning more than the other

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Right, maybe something like that makes scence, how to you fit them??

is the wrap holder mast adjustable?
sounds like its too low

 

[Greythundercloudys]

What's that

 

[Greythundercloudys]

How would that make the bale go to one side, instead of sitting in the middle.??

 

[Dave W]

What's that

the post that holds the wrap and pre stretch unit. Usually they are adjustable vertically so that the wrap goes onto the centre of the bale. Sounds like it's too low if the wrap is catching the bobbins. Bale size shouldn't make any difference

sorry thought it was the wrap catching the bobbin not the bale

best bet I would say is lay something across them, check how level the wrapper table is and then how level the belts are when the thing is laying on them. the weight is to take up the slack and see that they are all even. could check the centre to centre of the rollers too.

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Like a plank of wood?

 

[wdah/him]

anything with a bit of weight just to take up the slack

We had a (different) problem with ours, just emailed the factory and later had a conversation with the engineer. Job done. They are really helpful. Organised parts, paid in £.

 

[Greythundercloudys]

I'm going to email them aswell, but coming up unsafe site or not private. They are kinda hard to follow, very strong accent.

Is the bale always drawn to the same end, or just one end or the other?
