From OM-E21-454... "Bale Measuring Wheel... The bale measuring wheel may be set for bale lengths ranging from 30 to 38 inches. The setting shown (with the carriage bolt heads in the middle of the adjusting slots)is for bales of approximately 34 inches.For shorter bales, decrease the diameter of the wheel. For longer bales, increase the diameter of the wheel. If the bales are irregular in length, it is because the measuring wheel is not being turned uniformly by the movement of the material in the bale case. This is due to lack of density of the material, either because the material is too light or because the baler is being driven too slowly to fill the baling chamber satisfactorily. The measuring wheel may be lowered in the slot to get the teeth to penetrate farther into the material. If this does not remedy uneven bale length, increase the ground speed of the baler, or increase the size of windrow, or tighten tension cranks. CAUTION: If you make the bales too tight or too heavy, it will place excessive strain on your baler causing breakage and undue wear of parts. Also, there will be a tendancy to break the twine."
