[QUOTE="Greg1970, post: 6351818, member: 49764"] I still have the same problems - tears at start of wrapping. I think the problem is little bits of plastic stuck to the hold arms. They make a ruff surface so the very thin plastic gets a tear in it which lets go at start off on the next bale. My solution is to stand them smooth with 80 grit paper every time it happens. I'm getting fast at this. I take a cresent and put it on the valve bank lever arm for the cut and hold arms(back one or second back) then gently close the door on it. That holds it engaged and the arms stay out so I can quickly give them a sand. Be very careful though if cresent slips then arms will fly back in! also watch the knife blade, easy to cut yourself. After this it seems to go good for a bit. I like to jump out and watch it wrap. Once it finishes watch the arms come all the way out?, and when they go back in is there any tears in the plastic? arms not out is the air in accuators , tear in pastic is ruff surface. I find balers have little problems and the key is to have a solution to each. When I got my baler I changed the plastic stretch gears from 64% to 75% and I do wonder if this is asking for trouble, but I wanted good baleage so will live with it. Good luck [/QUOTE]
