  Todd MillerAug 17, 2025
  If the pickup on your AgLand Farm Equipment is plugging or not allowing material to flow freely, there are several possible causes. You might be feeding a large windrow too rapidly, so try reducing your ground speed. The crop hold down fingers could be set too tightly, requiring an adjustment. Also, check if the plastic tube over the fingers is worn or missing, and replace the tube(s) if necessary.

Why is material wrapping in the pickup of my AgLand Matador 7900?
- T
  Taylor FreyAug 20, 2025
  Material wrapping in the pickup of your AgLand Farm Equipment can occur due to several reasons. Check if the nylon wear plate inserts are missing or worn and replace them if needed. Ensure the hay is sufficiently dry. Adjust the crop hold down if it's set too tight. Replace any worn or missing plastic tubes over the fingers. Adjust your pickup and/or travel speed to match the crop conditions. If the field is rough, and your speed is excessive for the pickup flotation, slow down to prevent bouncing.

Why is material wrapping on the rollers of my AgLand Farm Equipment?
- D
  Dr. Christopher Hernandez DDSAug 22, 2025
  Material wrapping on the rollers of your AgLand Farm Equipment can be caused by several factors. Ensure that your pickup and/or travel speed is appropriate for the crop conditions by making necessary adjustments. Check the crop hold down setting and adjust if it's too tight. Replace any worn or missing plastic tubes. Also, ensure that the hay is not too wet or tough; allow it to dry down sufficiently for proper operation.

Why is the pickup skipping swath on my AgLand Matador 7900 Farm Equipment?
- D
  Daniel PrattAug 26, 2025
  If the pickup on your AgLand Farm Equipment is skipping swath or not picking cleanly, it could be due to several reasons. Missing or broken pickup teeth should be replaced. The flotation spring might be adjusted too lightly, so adjust the flotation accordingly. You might be driving too fast, so reduce your ground speed. Finally, the pickup tooth height could be too high; adjust the gauge wheels to lower it.

How to reduce excessive noise from chain and sprockets on AgLand Matador 7900 Farm Equipment?
- H
  holmesjeffreyAug 28, 2025
  Excessive noise from the chain and sprockets on your AgLand Farm Equipment can be attributed to a few reasons. The chain or sprockets might be worn, requiring replacement of parts as needed. The chain tension could be incorrect, so adjust it according to the Maintenance section. Also, the chain might be dry or rusted, so use proper lubrication.

What causes breakage of pickup teeth on AgLand Matador 7900?
- S
  ssantiagoAug 31, 2025
  Breakage or bending of pickup teeth on your AgLand Farm Equipment can occur due to several reasons. You might be running the pickup too low, so adjust the gauge wheel height. The pickup flotation could be set too heavy, so adjust the flotation. Excessive pickup rotation speed in rough or rocky conditions can also cause this issue, so reduce pickup speed and/or ground speed.

Why is the swath not being inverted completely by AgLand Farm Equipment?
- D
  Daniel OconnorSep 3, 2025
  If the swath is not being inverted completely by your AgLand Farm Equipment, it could be due to several factors. The swath might be too wide, so narrow the width laid down by the cutting unit to between 3’ to 4’ (.9 m to 1.2 m) maximum. The rear of the moldboard might be too high, so level the moldboard frame so it is parallel to the ground. If the material being inverted is very fine, ensure that the swath to be inverted is no more than 9’ (3 m) wide. Windy conditions can also cause this issue, so invert the swath only in conditions allowing proper results.

What causes excessive leaf loss while inverting with AgLand Farm Equipment?
- L
  lopezpeterSep 5, 2025
  Excessive leaf loss while inverting with your AgLand Farm Equipment can be caused by a swath that is excessively dried or bleached, so adjust the speed to suit the condition. Also, the pickup and/or travel speed might be too high; if speeds are adjusted correctly, minimal leaf loss is to be expected.

Why is the hydraulic motor leaking on my AgLand Matador 7900?
- L
  Laura HernandezSep 8, 2025
  A leaking hydraulic motor on your AgLand Farm Equipment can be due to several reasons. The seal might be worn or damaged, requiring a replacement. The seal could also be ruptured by over pressure, which also necessitates a replacement. Contaminant damage to the motor can also cause leaks, so repair the motor and ensure the oil supply is clean.
