Heston 565A roll baler

Does anybody have any idea as to why the oil in my baler is overheating? New filter had the dealer change every valve and put a new filter on it. Roll two bales and it just quits! Oil is foamy and super hot?? Thanks in advance.

I am not a round baler expert. We have a RB 46 Silage Baler in Challenger colors. It is a beast of a baler. Shortly after we purchased it an update kit was installed on the hydraulic system. I can't remember why it was installed. Even with the kit installed, it ran hot during a very short, low yield crop. It was determined that by going through the tying-unloading cycle the oil is cooled. We were not cycling the baler often enough, because of the low yielding crop. It never happened in a heavy crop, once the kit was installed. I believe the kit was paid for by the manufacturer. I hope this helps and that our balers are of similar design. Can you make smaller bales to cycle the baler more often? Just a thought.

Does your baler have its own hydrulic system?

Yes our bale has it's own hydraulic system.

Keep the fluid in the system close to the full mark and keep the hydraulic system clean. Blow the hydraulic system off with an air compressor.
