I have an Allis Chalmers small square baler (a 442)
I didn't even know Allis Chalmers made balers either - but this thing ties everything - so it a keeper for now - plus it was free (so far)anyway, the problem I have is this - I an usually baling baling bone dry brome but it does about the same with alfalfa - windrow size doesn't seem to make the problem better or worse - this is the problem I have the hay tension handles (the large ones on thebale chamber - not the twine feeding tensions)
tightened pretty good i think - the bales seem to weigh enough, granted I am 40 now - but they about right I think, but the bales are just way too loose - I have a little problem of a spring not releasing letting hay sit in the upper right corner of the bale chamber just before it gets rammed by the packer , but the twine is loose enough a lot of times it slides right off the edge of the bale - I have baled some alfalfa that was a little on the damp side - I can get 150 pound bales that way (beieve me - only made a couple of those) but the strings on those way heavy bales are still jjust too loose I will have to inspect further but I don't really think I even have the holes to bolt any wedges in the chamber ...is this what i need to make?
