Hoop Grate Adjustment
There are eight adjustment settings for the
hoop grate on the bale processor. These
settings determine the rate of feed of the
bale you are processing and the how fine the
cut will be. Move the handle “UP” for a
more aggressive cut.
• Position #1: Highest grate setting for finest cut and slowest rate of feed. Used for tough
processing feeds such as silage bales and some types of hay.
• Position #2 - #5: Normal operating range. Machine gets more aggressive as grate is
lowered (handle moves “up”).
• Position #6-8: Lowest grate positions, most aggressive, fastest rate of feed.
The Bale King should be adjusted according to bale conditions to achieve a rate of feed of
approximately 1.5 to 2 minutes. Light brittle material such as wheat straw may allow faster
processing while tough stringy material such as slough hay, green feed, or flax will require slower
processing. Hoop grate adjustment should be checked periodically.
NOTE: Processing a bale too rapidly may cause unnecessary machine deterioration.
NOTE: Upper grate position should be approximately 1/8” flail protrusion. Lower grate
position should allow 2-1/2” flail protrusion. Contact your Bale King dealer if this can’t be
achieved.
