I have a model 30 bale thrower on my 24t baler. Have owned for over 25 years. Today when baling the distance became erratic. Sometimes with it on 6 the bales would go to the back of the wagon and sometimes barely over the front. By the time I quit it was doing the same thing on 8 sometimes hitting the back and sometimes just over the front. We are baling straw that has no wet spots or heavy bunches. The 2 drive belts are tight and there is plenty of oil in the thrower tank. It is new hyd oil as we had a leak in a line last summer. When the oil was out the filter appeared very clean. Where do I start? The operaters manual gives no ideas. I remember my old Deere dealer talked about taking the distance control valve apart and adding a small amount of grease every few years. When we baled lots of small bales we would take it to the dealer every two or so years and have it completly gone over. Now that we moved and only bale 2500 or so a year we haven't done that for awhile. Any ides? We have 1500 or more bales of straw to make and the weather is good right now. Thanks Tom.
