when baling there is a idler on the left side of the baler next to the main drive chain when the bale gets to about 2.5 ft in diameter the chain starts getting loose on the bottom and tight on top and the idler is coming up.( i thought that is where it was skipping teeth but after watching it more closely its the main drive chain that was slipping but i tightend the tensioner on it and stopped that). i first thought something was wrong with the chain and idler getting tight but i dont see noway that its not going to raise up, so i think now that its supposed to do that as the bale grows the more the tensioner goes up,then once dump the bale and close tailgate the idler goes back down. is that normal? hopefully this picture will show what im talking about.
