Hesston 5800 round baler

Raymond Rauch · Jun 8, 2016

I have a Hesston 5800 round baler that works good. I noticed that one of the pick up bars where the pickup teeth attach seems to have more "wobble" than the rest of the bars. Enough that when it is in the down position ready to pick up the hay off the ground it only has 1-2 inches of teeth showing to pick up the hay. The others have 4-5 inches of teeth sticking out to pick up hay. I have not had time to dig into it but was wondering what to look for. Thanks.

Worn out or missing cam roller on the pickup. Degree of difficulty to replace varies with model and brand of baler.

I have a 5500. Do yourself a favor and get an Op and parts manual. Saved me tons of headaches.
