Connor Bale wrapper hydraulics

[biggmw]

Looking for collective advice. We have an older of the above here which works well.

Have it on an older dB, as all ours are, so I assume classed as open centre?

Means when not working wrapper the hydraulics are stop ended in effect and constant pumping.... Not good.

Is there an simple adjustment to the valve block etc to let the oil flow through to return when not needed?

Previous machine was set up thus and could leave spool in all the time with no dead ending heating oil etc.

Yours is open centre but being "blank ended" when no service is being used is how closed centre works.

Are your couplings good, no pressure in the return pipe.
To swap the wrapper from open to closed you normally just swap 2 bungs around. (That's on mchale any way)

Thank you. Yes that's what I was hoping but where, I assume on valve block, would I swap?

Runs fine just when you don't use any oil it labours tractor so exactly as you describe closed on the machine vs open on tractor?

Conor wrapper , closed centre conversion

About to collect a 2002 Conor 9720E linkage remote control wrapper , does anyone know what is required to convert these machines to closed centre operation? The selling dealer , a Conor agent , doesn't seem so sure , and he's waiting on Conor getting back to him . From a look on the online parts...

Might be worth calling Conner sounds very easy

That looks like a call yes. Well noted.... I assume @deere2140 isn't around on here so much now?
