Welger net to the edges

[Peter lynch]

We have always used talcum powder. Best thing u could use on net systems. Could be compared to using tyre paste to fit new tyres on rims. Can be done without but a whole lot handier with it.

Yes,but the point is Welger net systems have always just worked in the past,no talcumpowder required,why change it.

It sounds to me that the spring tension holding the rollers together needs adjusted a bit probably slackened

I've always had welgers and used talcum powder from time to time. Not needed a lot but mostly in damp conditions with dryer grass if u know the stuff I mean. Just takes the stickyness off the rollers.

I powerwash the rollers when i get home after working amongst sticky grass. Stops it going round rollers.

If the rollers dont get dried right before dust hits it can be a bigger problem than not washing them. Would need to blow down baler first. Not that keen on washing the baler at all especially in and around the net rollers as the bearings in there can't be greased

Hi, new here, a mate sent me a link as I've had a few problems with the net on an rp245.
Apart from the foam bar needing bending, another issue I had was a build up of crap underneath the rubber roller. There is a stainless piece of section that runs under/behind the rubber roller with a felt strip on (I assume for cleaning the rubber roller) you need to undo the top/nearest bolts on each side and slacken the other two and it will drop down, you can get your hand in (or air line) and clean out.
I wouldn't recommend trying to get your hand in and around before undoing as it has a very sharp edge

It's still not perfect but I think I might bend the foam bar a little more next time I'm heading out.

Bought a new foam tube last year, got billed £72 I think! Absolute pisstake

Thats why i cut our foam roller in the middle and turned the two halves, so the middle was on the out side, then duck taped the middle back together again

Get the foam roller from your builders merchants?? It's just pipe lagging and a tube of evo stick to glue it up, you will buy a few for £72 or alternatively I can supply them to you for £50

I knew someone would say that,why on a new baler that should have a bombproof netwrap system proven over many years should I have to resort to that,penny pinching accountants looking for cheaper options and messing with an excellent design,that is the problem!,not good enough on a 25k machine.

You are so correct welgar have lost there marbles they had the best baler on the market and they have fu@ked it with cheap bearings /parts ect even our dealer says this. Such a pity as i was a massive welgar fan but after 3x 245s and endless bearing problems im off to try a Mchale only heard good things about them so i will give one a go

The bar that the foam roller needs to be well bent away from you as you stand on the front. The tension on the springs that pull the net rollers together need to be set so you can get a 20p between the coils, and there needs to be a bit of resistance on the net brake when the net brake bar is fastened back with the r clip. Also make sure there isn't a build up of muck and dust under the rubber roller. A strong air line or a long bit of wire should sort that

A can of Cola was what reps use to carry to deep clean the rubber rollers at one time.

I never thought I'd hear a bad word from you on Lely machines!!!
Next I will i see a post from Dr Dunc moaning about Deutz tractors?????

interesting... what problems are you having with your new welger balers?

Strange! I'd have imagined that to be even stickier. It's pollen seems to be worst for making them sticky.

BEARINGS? Can you not read post.

It's the cleaning agents in Cola that clean the rubber

no need to shout..... what exact bearings... roller bearing, rotor bearings gearbox bearings? that was more the information i was after as i can read all right.

I know,very disappointing,nothing to stop the machine working but enough to stop me buying another.
