Can I ask what was wrong with your wrapper?

Did you get the cut and hold thing working?

 

[Two Tone]

Did you get the cut and hold thing working?

Yes, if what you mean is the film jaws.

The film jaws would not close far enough to grab the film, holding it ready for the next bale. Having taken the lid off the jaw mechanism, it was very dirty inside, preventing the stainless steel rods from moving freely. So we cleaned them with some cloth and put some light oil on them to allow them to move fast enough and freely enough during their entire cycle.

Sounds like that is what we need to do with our wrapper.

Wrappers Delight

Sometimes, the older stuff is so much more simple and reliable! Not to mention cheaper.

Started here with a 44s back in 91

Tried wrapping a bale with our new to us Kvernland Silawrap. All went ok except the bar which is supposed to grip the wrap didn't appear tomove out.

Mine had the same problem. I welded an extra bit to the triangle in the ratchet mechanism under the bed then drilled to put the rod further out from the pivot and thus increased the ratchet mechanism's throw.
Works perfectly now.

Got a third Krone Optimat spreader

I bought it for spares for our others. It's pretty solid though so think it'll be kept working rather than broken. Spread rate just needs freeing of.

Also needs new tips welded on the top rotor

 

[Fowler VF]

Ahh yes, I remember those, very well built. Old man bought one with the theory that it could double up as a grain trailer, took ages to unload though. OK as a spreader but if I recall that front guard is important, as you get to the end the load the back rotor flings it forwards and plasters the back window!

 

[JLTate]

We really like them - the one next to it we've had about 18 years. Its never gone wrong apart from it slipped of the front pulley last month and bent a few slats.

A few people have said about slinging bits forward but we've never really had that issue. Our tractors never seem to get much slung on them. It always annoys us that for some reason they stop the slats 4" from the sides so you always get a build up on the sides which you have to shovel out end of the day.

Have you checked the colour of the oil on the dipstick ?

But, very nice ! Enjoy her.

Local tractor? Ballymena I assume

 

[david]

How many hours is on her ?

 

[Drillman]

@Thomas5060 She looks tidy. Just needs front fenders to finish her off. Has the cab had any remedial rust prevention work done? It looks good in the pics.

Not that I can see, think it's just in very good shape

Just run in. Our 7610 had best part of 13000hrs on it when it went. Only sold it as there wasn't much left in the shed it could handle. We just outgrew it
