It's A Start

Right or wrong, it is on there. Geeze, kind of an obnoxious sounding bugger, aren't they?

Now, if the hay would just grow so I could have something to bale up. :>(

Ever notice that you never see any old belt balers still in the field?

The chainers don't have the turnover potential, so we phase 'em out and start building throw-aways. Same old story; it's a consumer society. :>)

Kinda why I mounted it at an easy reach so I can flick that "off" button back and forth instead of having to listen to that racket.

Thanks,

Allan

I'm gonna wire that rascal up like the auto-wraps. In order to shut that noisey thing off, the bale has to be tied. This will help in more ways than one. :>)

Allan

Sorry Sir, you have the wrong number. Click. :>)

Yep, I'm just an old duffer playin' with my toys (read: other people's junk). :>)

North east puller.

Our Fox 3000 has a hyd. cylinder to turn the spout left to right, and it came with a frozen window motor to control the flapper. I tried like heck to identify the original but no body had any clues so I went to the junk yard and tore open a driver's side door from an S-10 and found one that works. The hardest part was the wireing. It's only got 2 wires that go the motor, but 4 fromt he motor to the switch. PLus the power source (off the key switch so it has to be on to work) and a ground going straight to the battery.

Works great!! Ad that, and a rope to drop the wagon and another pull rope to widen/narrow the tounge, and I hardly ever have to get off the tractor or twist around funny in the seat....

I'm just spoilin' myself rotten. Oh well, age has it's rewards. :>)

It is supposed to tell you when to stop and tie the bale so that a fella doesn't have to be continually looking back and watching that "full indicator" on the baler face.

You really have to watch it 'cause if you make the bale too big, it will shear a pin at the pickup to keep from harming the baler.

I guess this thing is just supposed to save your neck muscles is all. Buzzes at ya and the little red light comes on when the bale is finished. :>)

Allan

Mine is a simple baler for a simple man. :>)

However, I've seen those "bale commands" that the auto tie New Hollands use. Sure don't ever want one of those things. Just fine until they go south and the hay needs baled.
