Why won’t the bale eject from my CRAM-A-LOT VB-60-B-LP?
- S
  samuel77Sep 6, 2025
  If the bale won’t eject from your CRAM-A-LOT Lawn and Garden Equipment, make sure that the dump handle was engaged before the machine was operated in the “Manual Up” mode to dump the bale. Also, on newer balers, the paint on the inside of the bale chamber may prevent the bale from ejecting well. While ejecting the bale the motor may shut off. If this occurs, the baler cycle timer has timed out.

Before the presshead was lowered, ensure that a full sheet of cardboard has been laid on top of the full bale.
