operating speed
• Feather PTO lever into position
Excessive twine wrapped on
rotor causing flail movement
to be restricted
• Cut twine off rotor
Broken flails causing rotor to
be out of balance
• Replace broken flails (in pairs opposite each other)
Overloading rotor
• Set hoops to less aggressive position
• Slow rotation of bale
• Change direction of bale rotation
Incorrect shear bolt used
• Use correct shear bolt
Operating machine at less than
1000 PTO RPM
• Operate machine at rated 1000 PTO RPM
Excessive vibration
while processing

Auger chute at too shallow of
an angle for grain to clear fast
enough
• Run auger slower
• Run chute at steeper angle
