I ain't going to argue with you on this. Something isn't right with a baler that can't start a bale in grassy hay or most straw. I can't bale everything with the square baler and updating the baler isn't a priority right now, other stuff needs it alot worse. The reason I can't turn it off is because it's not plugged in the usual way. There is very little hay in the baler, and the belts just won't grab it to form a roll, and the pickup clutch eventually slips, so you have to idle down and push on it with a stick to force it in to start the bale. There is very little chance of it actually grabbing a stick that's 2" in diameter. I push from the edge of the pickup, right where it goes from the 52" pickup and crowds it into the 46.5" wide chamber. I'm to the side of the pickup and the stick doesn't normally cross any pickup teeth. Not saying what I do is a completely safe and acceptable practice, but I'm doing it as safe as I can, minus not doing it at all. Not being able to start slippery materials is a New Holland trait from what I have heard, so the next baler will likely be a John Deere. The baler rarely has a problem once it has started the bale. You can drive down the field at a fairly quick pace. It's just starting the bale that can be a PIA.
