My 14T is tying bales at all different lengths. The bale measuring wheel seems to be making good contact with the hay, but it will not trip the tying mechanism at the right time. Any ideas?

I'd also check the clutch trip arm and the serrated roller on the metering wheel assembly. Often the teeth or serrations on one or both of these components become worn from use or the metering wheel assembly loosens and slips ahead so good contact is not made between the two. Either condition has similar results. The trip arm does not rise accurately to the top of it's travel limit as the bale turns the metering wheel. Result is excessively long bales or bales of widely varying lengths.

Another thought, are the bales firmly packed, or running loose? Loose bales, especially with light hay are difficult to control length consistantly. I cut some grass hay with the brush hog the other day, and my bales were terrible!

Go to your New holland and buy 3 pair of wedges to put in the bale chamber. had to do it inorder to make bales that fit in a farmhand 8 pack accumulator.

how you rake the hay makes a big difference too. if you rake your hay where it isn't continously feeding the baler then each time the plunger goes back and hits a lick with no hay there it rotates the wheel just enough to make your bales all different sizes. tractor speed also can be varied to keep hay coming into the baler at a descent rate. people bale way to slow in dry hay. ger er done and move on. don't be lazy - shift up when possible.

Just a comment, but the 14T is a low volume baler and an old machine. It should eat a pretty good row of dry hay with ease but use your best judgement or you will be spending a lot of time pulling clogs out of the auger. If you happen to compliment it with and old tractor without independant PTO you'll grow old in that field unless you take it easy.

Non-uniform windrows can cause that, like Dave says---also check the grooves on the bale length arm. They provide traction to the wheel, but if worn, do not grip well. Rough them up with a file or hacksaw.

Are your windrows fairly consistent? Back and forth between heavy and light windrows can cause bale lengths to vary dramatically with these JD balers and probably others. That would be my first guess. If your rows are real even, we would have to look further.
