If you watch the screen, theres a icon tells you if bales ejected or not.
Ive just 1 spring on mine.

They're pretty unreliable at giving the right info on screen bale ramp wise
Pretty sure yours will be a different ramp from what the dealer told me
It works fine in silage It was when I started straw I've got a camera rigged up to see the bales and I could see the bale sitting on the ramp and at times I had to shunt forward to release it
I have exactly the same issue. But only in straw when baling at max size. After some nattering my kicker was altered but still have to pull forwards a touch to make sure bales clear the back door unless I’m going uphill.

Does yours have the new netwrap system with the oil operated drive? Was looking at a new one today and it looks a simple system.
Talking of net wrap anyone else have problems with belts slipping? Ours had about 11000 bales on it and we are getting through the unwanted Xmas talc supply at a alarming rate to stop them from slipping.
It does yeah it's a better system than my 2015 one was the oil bit is just the tension system on it .
It looks like it won't work but works well
What belt ?

I got into some good going today which allowed me to have a tweak and a play...until it pee'd it down[emoji35]
Anyway It appears I've been to cautious about the speed the gate opens and closes!
I speeded the spools up and it now seems to be chucking the bales out the back better and also it's alleviated the delay on with the tailgate closing, rather than having to wait while the tension rams retract it now does it as the gate closes but it does go down with a bang if your to heavy handed with the lever as it approaches the closed position.

Belts that drive the netter system

Have you got any net round the bottom roller that feeds net into baler? The bearing for that roller failed on mine last season. The new ones have tube welded round roller to stop this. I've never had mine slip, did replace 1 belt because it was badly cracked.
No but have opened panels up when it hasn’t been working and belts are slipping on pulleys.
As said Xmas talc seems to cure it.
Will change drive belts for next year
My last one did 30k bales and never even tightened it up
Don't slow the spools down there's a restrictor in the baler just give it full flow or you'll rip nets
Watch out for the safety tap for the back door closing itself as well my old one used to do that
2012 and yes
Absolutely sick of the sight of this baler now in fairly smashed up fit spring barley this afternoon and the only way to stop it throwing burst bales or spitting out things with massive lumps on is to bale in manual stop and give it time to clear the straw from the back of the rotor so the net can go round or it'll get stuck behind the lump and not net or make a massive lump on the bale

Can you not set it so it doesn’t start netting for say 2/3 seconds after reaching bale size?
You can but you have to watch it till it stops dragging it back through the rotor so you know it's clear it's not consistent
