My Case/IH 8430 baler is getting hay wrapped on an upper roller when starting a new bale. Not every time, but far too often. I got the baler used last year and made about 130 bales, and it wrapped the roller maybe twice. This year, it is doing it much more often, and more than once (like this afternoon), I've given up and finished a field with my small square baler. What's different this year is I'm about 5 weeks behind because of the most rainy season I've ever seen. The rain plus the extra time seems to have favored the growth of the finer grasses that grow between the main grasses, so overall the hay is finer. Also, the tractor I used last year blew a piston, so I'm baling with a 1959 Farmall 560 this year.
Does anyone have any experience with these balers? What could be wrong? My bad shoulders can't take much more of cutting hay off the roller, you've got to be a contortionist.
