4.3 Filling the Bale Chamber
To attain a consistent bale density inside a round bale,
the bale chamber should be filled evenly. The swath
width is an important factor here.
The swath width is optimal if the swath has exactly the
same width as the bale chamber.
If the swath is wider than this, distortion of the round bales
may result. The round bale will be frayed on the sides and
difficult to eject from the bale chamber.
If the swath is narrow, the bale chamber can be filled
evenly only by driving onto the swath from alternate sides
(left/right). Do not zigzag: drive long distances on the left
and right side of the swath as shown in the illustration. Too
frequent changes and uneven filling of the bale chamber
will produce barrel-shaped round bales and uneven bale
density.
The current baling pressure is displayed by the baling
pressure indicator on the right side of the machine or on
the monitor if comfort controls are used.

4.3.1 Minimize the pressure on the side walls
For very critical forage and extremely hard bales, the
bales can be given additional protection against turning
as follows:
• In order to reduce the pressure on the side panels
there should not be extreme driving to the right/left
• Reduce the number of outer cutting blades or turn off
the cutting system or remove the cutters
To increase the protection against turning of the bales
additional
bars (2) can be assembled on the starter roller.
The bars (2) are assembled inside the bale chamber.
• Open the tailgate
Risk of accidents!
Secure the open tailgate against
unintentional
shutting.
• Rotate the shut-off valve (1) of the left
lifting cylinder from position (a) to position

• Assemble the 6 bars (2) on the starter roller and
tighten with countersunk screws (3)
