Roto baler pickup problems

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Trying to bail another round of hay with my old Roto baler. Having some trouble with it this around. The pickup chain keeps jumping off the drive gears and binding up. Hay seems to be getting jammed underneath the pickup bars. The roller at the end of the pickup spins pretty easily but that is not rotating so that does not help things. The pick drive belt is new 

The hay I’m trying to bale is not great hay to say the least I cut it with an old Mc rotary sycthe and tedded it with that as well so maybe it’s the hay itself? 

Any tips to help alleviate this? Gets old shutting the tractor down every bale to pull the hay out and get the pickup tracking.

	A multitude of roto-baler jam-ups are caused by trying to bale hay that is too wet for it... Lots of people have told me that through the years...
