Massey Ferguson 10-8 baler question

Peteb · Jan 29, 2013

Hi Guys

I managed to pick up a tidy Massey Ferguson 10-8 baler a month ago for a few hundred dollars. Took a few hours going through the manual and making adjustments to get it running good but now is running great. Have just baled 100 bales with it and am very happy.

Only small issue I makes slightly banana shaped bales. Now from the manual this can be corrected by the Packer Fork Positioning. But I cannot for the life of me find where this adjustment is. The picture in the manual is a low quality black and white image and it doesn"t really help.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers

on my MF 224 the adjustment is on the arm of the forks. There is a pin to pull and a row of maybe five holes for selecting more or less throw.

Don't know what a # 10-8 massy is but I have a #10 and it is adjusted by placing the packer finger pin in one of the three holes in the rod with the spring on it. Also need to keep baler full of hay, if you have small windrows and not much hay going in bales may become loose or curved.
