Bale Length
The operating speed of the baler has a direct effect
on the bale length. To help maintain a consistent
bale length, adhere to baler "Operating Speed" on
page 55.
Bale length is adjusted by changing the height of
the trip bar stop bolt (see Figure 133). Raising the
bolt decreases bale length and lowering the bolt
increases bale length.
If no more adjustment is available with the trip bar
stop bolt, change the height of the meter trip bar
stop. Use the holes provided to adjust the meter
trip bar stop. If the meter trip bar stop is moved,
the meter trip bar bolt will need adjustment.
