Looking online, it seems common enough that you may have to hold your mouth just right to get net to work. Maybe that fancy new baler is all I need!! For now I have to make do with this POS M&W 1500 baler. Net feeds above the pickup head thus requires that you are actively pickup up hay to work.
I had the net working well and probably did 120 bales with only my hay clogging issues at the intake. As I start to get that understood, I started having net problems. When I first saw this, I noticed there are pads (brakes) that ride on the sides of the net roll but as it spooled off, the brake was no longer touching. It was free wheeling and back lashing. There is also a bar that rides on the top of the roll that looks "fabbed" but should work. There are a couple springs and such so I put them on top and tried to apply a little pressure. Roll will not take any and still feed from the rollers, it will just slip in them. Acts like rollers need more bite. Net will randomly wrap on rubber or Aluminum roller.
SO.... Backlash is on issue I am working on with the net roll and need ideas on how to get that right towards the end of a roll (lighter and spins faster). I got to a point just to get done where I was throttling down the pto to idle before cut off just to reduce net speed.
However, I am also now just getting random wads on the rollers and it is OH so fun with this machine to climb up under it to mess withe the net rollers. When I cut the net off, I just run the blade over the rollers. I have read where burrs of my type may not be good but I am not sure how else you are supposed to get it off? I am at a point now where every other bale will fail the netting and it is getting OLD! I just need to keep that baler moving.
Moving on to hay clogging. My oat hay was less than 2T/acre. baler could handle it. Trucking along at 2.5mph. And that was AFTER I pulled the wind guard or "tine bar" from the intake. Not sure if that is advisable but with it, I was screwed. It finally started sucking in some hay but pukes some back out. I am trying to figure out if there is some mods I can make to the baler to improve pickup performance and bale starting? I have to creep along at snail pace waiting for the bale to start and see it start looking like a vacuum. I also obviously need kicker wheels for a 4ft wide baler to get all the hay in the intake. the biggest issue seems to be height of the windrow. The frame above the pickup is only about 2ft off the ground so it will push hay. Needs a feeder roller right there to blast the top right to the pickup.

Today's Featured Article - Search For Spares - by Anthony West (UK). Following on from the aquisition of the old Fordson F, I was very much in need of spares. As a novice though I didn't appreciate the fact that there were so many Fordson tractors made, that all the other makes seem rare by comparison. As far as I was aware a fordson was a fordson and it was only through trial an
