Mc hale 5500 netter

[icanshootwell]

Had the top spring break today, not a problem but some how the knife has damaged the rubber roller, ive tried smoothing it the best i can but the net keeps on going around it, not every time but probably 1 in 3. It was getting on my tits this evening getting on and off every 5 minutes.
Does anybody no if there is a dressing i can put on the roller or is it a new roller?

I have tried that before but didn't make much difference, it's because the roller has some fine cut's in it and the net is catching on them . I think I,m going to try a liquid rubber and paint it on the roller, it's got 2 chances then.

How about a buffer to smooth it out

New roller I’d reckon.

When on the subject. My net knife sticks open. As in the billok rolls up and off but the knife doesn't trip. Any ideas.

Clean off the pivots where it swings on the roller. Loads of spray, work it up and down by standing on the platform 50 times.

on my old baler I used to get issues especially on a hot day knife not tripping , the plastic bits on end of pivot were white , dealer changed to newer black ones and solved the problem

It’s a wonder mchale haven’t copied the Kuhn or vicon netter then they would t have this problem. Copied all the good bits off everyone else’s balers but still not managed to sort the netter out.

Have a look at the Claas netter.

just come in from helping our contractor, digging out a tightly chopped bale, that failed to eject, and jammed the machine, 3 hrs, handful a time, awful. The problem was a massive cut, even though it's been grazed twice, to wet, even though been down 4 days, extremely sticky, all on a steep hill, there's an awful amount of handfuls, in a chopped fusion bale, moan over.

Failed to transfer? Or failed to wrap?

 

[som farmer]

not quite sure, we didn't pull any net out, and it was stuck between chamber, and wrapper, so failed to transfer, l presume, and failed to 'net', bugger though, we will have to ted it out again.

next problem when the mchale men are active, tine bar running free in the pick up, cant remeber how to sort out the roll pin or how long it will take to do it, is it one side or both?

Did one last week, remove the outer pick up bands to reveal the roll pin. Pretty sure they alternate, half are on the left, half on the right side. Easy to do, 13mm socket and small extension bar is all thats needed ti remove the band.

Shouldn't have transferred if no net on, it will if overidden and forced though.

Bale can be kept in chamber and reversed to a hill or turned away from it if it's too steep too.

You don,t always no the net has not gone on the bale, ive had it go around the bottom rotor many times.
