What to do if my Sipma PK 4010 KOSTKA machine is clogging?
- L
  Laurie BrownAug 19, 2025
  If your Sipma Farm Equipment is clogging, it may be due to non-compliance with working conditions, too much material in the feeding unit, activation of the automatic overload clutch, or insufficient PTO shaft rotations. Ensure the tractor transmission shaft maintains 540 rpm, adjust the machine's working speed based on the material, and allow the feeder's automatic fingers to clear the clogging. Always switch off the tractor engine before addressing clogging and secure the tractor to prevent unauthorized start-up.

Why is my Sipma PK 4010 KOSTKA not collecting material from the field completely?
- K
  Katie SteeleAug 21, 2025
  If your Sipma Farm Equipment isn't fully collecting material, the pick-up drum might be too high, the pick-up springs may be damaged, or the driving speed could be too fast. Try lowering the pick-up drum, replacing any broken or bent springs, and reducing your driving speed while maintaining the tractor power transmission drive shaft speed.

What causes irregular bale length in Sipma PK 4010 KOSTKA Farm Equipment, and how to fix it?
- S
  smithluisAug 23, 2025
  Irregular bale length in Sipma Farm Equipment can occur if the switch arm is sliding, material feeding is non-uniform, the switch bar is worn, drive wheels are loose, or there's too much material per piston stroke. Readjust the switch arm, ensure uniform material feeding, replace worn parts, tighten the hexagonal nut, and either increase transmission shaft rotations, collect smaller swathes, or reduce driving speed.

How to fix fuzzed bales with Sipma PK 4010 KOSTKA?
- D
  danielhallAug 26, 2025
  Fuzzed bales when using Sipma Farm Equipment are often caused by blunt knives on the piston and pressing chamber or incorrect knife location. Sharpen or rotate the knives in the pressing chamber. Also, set the guiding rails of the piston and adjust the piston knife, ensuring a knife clearance of approximately 0.5-1.0mm.

What to do if the knotting twine has not wrapped the whole pressed bale, and the knot is located only at the front end of the twine (from the piston end) in my Sipma Farm Equipment?
- N
  Nicole BoltonAug 28, 2025
  If the knotting twine only wraps the front of the bale, it may be caused by insufficient tightening of the twine catcher. Try tightening the holder spring by tightening the bolt (½ - 1 rotation).

What causes twine to be fuzzed or broken just behind a knot in Sipma Farm Equipment, and how can I resolve it?
- R
  Robert BoydAug 30, 2025
  If the twine is fuzzed or broken just behind a knot, it may be because the knife lever's scrapping edge is pushing too hard on the knotter’s finger ridge or the knife lever surface is rough. Regulate the knife lever to lightly touch the knotter’s finger ridge and smooth the twine race surface, ensuring free rotation of the knotter's finger.

Why is the knot too loose on my Sipma PK 4010 KOSTKA Farm Equipment?
- J
  Jim RodriguezSep 1, 2025
  A loose knot on your Sipma Farm Equipment is likely due to the kneader's spring not being sufficiently tightened. Slightly tighten the tightening nut of the holder spring.

What should I do if the knotting twine has wrapped the whole pressed bale, but a knot is located only at the rear end of the twine (from the end of the pressing chamber) on my Sipma PK 4010 KOSTKA Farm Equipment?
- J

  If the knot is only at the rear, the twine may not be caught by the holder or properly delivered to the knotter. Check the twine holder setting, ensuring the distance between the holder and needle is 3-5 mm. The dimension measured from the twine holder's end to the second edge of the needle slot in the knotting mechanisms table should be 50±2 mm.

What to do if there is a single knot located at the end of the twine, and the second end of the twine is only threaded in my Sipma PK 4010 KOSTKA?
- S
  shawnahopkinsSep 6, 2025
  If you find a single knot with the other end only threaded, the twine might be insufficiently tightened or delivered too high, missing the knotter’s finger. Regulate the twine tightener by tightening the wing nut (½ rotation), ensuring the twine is between the two guide pins. Also, check and adjust the twine holder's location if needed.

Why does a knot remain on the knotter’s finger, and the twine is breaking on my Sipma PK 4010 KOSTKA Farm Equipment?
- L
  Lori MillerSep 8, 2025
  If a knot remains on the knotter’s finger and the twine is breaking, the pressure spring or kneader spring may be too tight, or the knife lever isn't scraping the knot. Loosen the nut on the kneader bolt and release the kneader spring (½ - 1 rotation).
