Round Bailer. Is there any way of testing it? Whoever had it before had put an on/off switch on the wire at the battery end. Id like to know before I count on it, if it will work or not.
 
Is it an electric tie unit ? What functions does the monitor have the old 435 John Deere baler can run without a monitor at all I haven't ran the monitor in ten years or more
 
Saw your message on the other forum, not familiar with them up close and personal but should be a nice baler for you and I presume the DB tractor you got?

The monitors help with a few different things, feeding the side to side right and the twine I would guess.

Yes, its an electric unit. That's why I mentioned that someone had put a on/off switch on it at the battery end.

Since ive never ran a round bailer, and DONT have 10 MINUTES experience, much less 10yrs, I guess ill go by the monitor if it works.
 
Paul, I was told all the monitor did was alert the driver that a bale was made.
All im asking is, is there anyway of testing the monitor to make sure it works empty before I go into the field with it.
 
You should have a bale size indicator on the side of that baler left looking at it I use that to tel me when the bale is about done also on that baler you should hear the twine arms make a clang as they drop from the home position to wrap position it doesn't hurt to feed a little extra hay in after it starts wrapping sometimes you have to start the time twime wrapping on the bale anyway
 
All the 852 balers had was a warning light and an alarm for the full bale I believe. If you get it all set up, you should be able to trace the wires on the baler back to where they end on one side or the other. They should connect to a microswitch. If you actuate the switch, the light should light up and the warning alarm should go off.. good luck!!
