4 Baler Maintenance Tips From Hay Producers Tips From The Pro s The Annual Maintenance Checklist 20-plus checkpoints for round and/or square balers. Jesse Wilmot admits that he likes to sleep, even if some of his nights are pretty short. That s because Wilmot, and his business partner, Kelly Bonham, bale most of the hay on their Maysville, Oklahoma, operation at night. Hence, any problem with a baler delays sleep that much longer. That s one of the reasons Wilmot and Bonham try to keep their six Hesston by Massey Ferguson balers in top condition. We try to trade balers every few years to avoid any downtime, says Bonham, adding that a breakdown is a little less critical since they have several balers running at a time. But we still keep them as clean as possible using an air hose to regularly blow off dirt and debris. Wilmot says they also go through all the balers during the off-season to check bearings for wear, replace broken tines, adjust chains, etc. If they encounter any problems they can t repair themselves, they call their local AGCO dealer - Livingston Machinery Company in Chickasha, Oklahoma. We also get all our parts, including the twine, from Livingston Machinery so the equipment always performs the way it was designed to, Wilmot adds, noting that the partners also own two Hesston by Massey Ferguson WR9770 windrowers. We put about 3,000 bales through each of the 2190 machines on an annual basis and about 5,000 bales through the 3 X 3 models. So, they get fairly heavy use. Wilmot explains that during the haying season, they typically cut around 250 acres per day, and bale that same amount a day or two later. That s about all you can put up at a time, he says. So even though we have a number of balers, it can take both 2150s or all four 2190s, depending on what size of bale the customer wants. Original article published in myfarmlife.com the online extension of FarmLife Magazine. Find additional tips for making quality hay in the Hesston Guide to Quality Hay, available for free at myfarmlife.com. Thanks to the following for help with this list: Kevin Bermingham, service writer and 21-year veteran of the service department at Agri-Service in Twin Falls; Tim Brannon, owner of B & G Equipment in Paris, Tenn. We also received input from the many service technicians from Hesston by Massey Ferguson, as well as producers, such as Norris. Miscellaneous Check gearbox fluid levels and change as recommended in the operator s manual. Grease all grease nipples on wear points. Check with your dealer about any upgrades that appear on new balers that, in many cases, can be retrofitted. Ensure the correct genuine lubricant is used. Hoses and Hydraulics Change hydraulic-system filters, then run the machine to purge air from the system. Ensure that the auto-lube system is working properly. Refer to your owner s manual for the correct type of oil when filling the reservoir, as other oils will not cling to components as well. Also, make sure tubes leading to destination points haven t been cut, kinked or damaged. Examine all electric cables and hydraulic hoses for damage. Feeder Mechanisms Check to make sure all guards are intact and in place. Examine and replace any broken tines in the pickup, and make sure stripper plates haven t been bent or damaged. Check pickup cam track bearings for wear, and check cam track for dents or abnormal wear. Check the flighting and bearings on pickup feeder augers used on square balers and large round balers. Bale Chamber Examine hay moisture monitoring and preservation application systems to make sure they are operating properly. Remove any crop material wrapped on belt rollers or drive sprockets. Check all bearings, including those on drives, square baler plunger components and round baler forming belt rollers. Clean and lubricate all netwrap and twine components; grooves and areas of rust that can make the netwrap or twine stick. Ensure that all knives are sharp, including the plunger and knotter knives on square balers, and twine and/or netwrap knife on round balers. Belts and Chains Check all drive chains for wear and tension. If a chain is replaced, change out the sprockets as well, and vice versa. Check all drive belts for cracks, and ensure that idlers turn freely. On round balers, inspect belts for cracking and other wear. Also check the belt lacing, if applicable, to make sure they haven t pulled loose. Loosen belt tensioners so they are not sitting under full tension during the off-season. On the Outside Use air pressure to remove dirt, dust and hay debris. If this is followed by washing, great care should be taken to keep high pressure away from bearings and seals to prevent premature failure. Run the baler after washing for several minutes, then oil all chains and moving parts. Inspect tires for damage and excessive wear. Check all lug bolts to ensure they are tightened to specifications. 6 September 2017 AGCOPARTSANZ.com.au September 2017 The Genuine Choice 7

5 AGCO Netwrap & Twine Specially Engineered To Reduce Your Down Time Product Focus Super C Tedder Tines AGCO Twine Trouble free spooling Excellent knotting UV Stabilised for tough conditions New! Big Square 1400mt spools to reduce down time AGCO Netwrap Edge to Edge Patented Technology 4200mt Roll Available for reduced down time High strength design Tines are often thought of as a fairly generic product, however the engineers at AGCO have taken the humble tine and designed it for maximum performance and durability. Durability Manufactured using Super C, which is a extremely high quality steel 9.5mm Diameter Rod 6 Windings 70mm Winding Diameter NEW! BIG SQUARE XL 1400MT SPOOLS Get Some Help with the Balancing Act of Baling Hay this Harvest Season with the AGCO HayBoss System The AGCO HayBoss System can measure moisture as you are baling and automatically apply AGCO Hay Preservative to allow baling up to 30% moisture. Information on each bale is recorded into the HayBoss System, which can be downloaded to a file to demonstrate the quality of your hay. Contact your local AGCO Dealer for more information on the AGCO HayBoss System. After the spring coil sections have been wound the surface of the tine coil is Shot Peened. This process closes any micro fissures resulting from the winding process and prevents stress and corrosion failure, prolonging the service life of the tine. To ensure our tedder tines can stand the test of the harshest conditions they must be able to withstand a test cycle of 200, 000 deflections. This is double the industry standard of 100,000. COMB EFFECT FOR OPTIMUM DRYING PROCESS Only equal-sided tines allow you to achieve an optimum mixing of your high-quality forage. This is known as the comb effect since, during the tedding process, the different layers of forage are perfectly mixed together and turned, providing the optimum production of high-quality forage. Another advantage of using tines where both tine legs are of equal length is that the loading on the tine legs from the crop is shared between both tines resulting in consistent load and wear. Furthermore, tines are not handed, ie Left and Right hand tines. On a machine one part number fits all rotors, irrespective of the direction of their rotation. For maximum durability and performance from your machine, always insist on Genuine AGCO Parts. Tine Test Rig 8 September 2017 AGCOPARTSANZ.com.au September 2017 The Genuine Choice 9
