I would say the raking and windrow are the most important step too. Posted 13:26 (#3159729 - in reply to #3159627) Subject: Re: making tighter bales on vermeer 605fĪ good tight bale is a process that starts with cutting and goes all the way through to baling. Also crowd both sides of your baler hard that does help. If I pick up a windrow straight from the haybine, same baler settings and you can't hardly drive a spear into it. I have a NH 650 and if I try to bale behind a 254 NH 2 rotor rotary rake, I can't make tight bales for anything.

Having a soft core doesn't help them start a bale anyways, since they HAVE to start on the pickup, then roll back into the belts after the first few inches ( try starting a bale with the tailgate open if you want proof ). Could also be that someone has set the stop on the cylinder to make a soft core, they will squish with a soft core. West Central Alberta Coldest, wettest edgeĭoes the pressure gauge come up immediately? If there is air in the cylinder the core will be soft.

Just keep in mind this baler is around 30 years old, it won't hang with the new ones. Also if the springs have mud/grease caked between the coils, getting them clean out will also help. A 5' wide or a little better would be ideal. Increasing the pressure of the hay on the side wall of the baler will add bale density. If you can make a windrow that is 5' wide that would help.

Got a 605f and we have been trying to get it to make tighter bales.

There were two types of this slip clutch used on these balers, yours may or may not be the same as mine. Finally I suspected this clutch, after taking it apart two times and checking the book again and again, I found that the 4 bolts which compresses the belville springs was not backed off far enough. I had it all rebuilt last fall so did not expect it to be the cause of my trouble, checked everything for a seized bearing and thought I had found the trouble several times but after just a few bales it started to act up again. I had fits with the load limiting clutch on the drive shaft this year. The shear bolts Soapweed talked about are on the feed roller, this roller is square on my baler, there is a short #60 roller chain that drives this roller. Check maybe the key where this is keyed to the shaft might be sheared or lost. Remove it and the large thick washer, then I believe there is a snap ring and the clutch will come apart. There is a beveled headed bolt on it that needs an Allen wrench to remove. There is a slip clutch on the driven sprocket on the pickup.
