baler pick-up driving me crazy

I have a New Holland 276 that I bought this spring, and the pick-up on it is driving me crazy. Is there a way to get it to take the wide windrow? It works fine if I have a narrow windrow, but if it spreads out, it won"t feed it into the bale chamber. The fingers that pull it into the chamber don"t seem to reach down far enough. They look fairly new and not broke, but they don"t do much at all.

NH offered a different tine for the rh feed tine for cornstalks.It had a extra tine to keep the corner cleaned out.

I have a 273 which is probably smaller, but sounds like it has the same feed system. The 273 is a flat top NH baler. The previous owner of my 273 moved the back of the feed chamber all the way out. I have yet to have feeding problems in grass hay. I would move the feeder fingers down some, and that piece towards to the rear of the baler. I believe that may help with crop flow. Check to see if you baler has that adjustable back in the feed chamber, it may not. Good luck.

I believe you should have 3 sets of teeth in the carriage. The teeth are adjustable so you can drop them if they are not low enough. Also there are suppposed to be springs on them to help keep them in the crop.

I don"t have a problem with the pick-up lifting it off of the ground, but when it goes up into the throat, thats where it slugs up. I was baling cornstalks that I had chopped and windrowed. The arm that pulls the stuff into the bale chamber doesn"t seem to go low enough to pull everything with it, so it builds up until the whole thing gets plugged.The rods that pivot , don't seem to be long enough, but they don't look broken or worn. This arm has two sets of fingers, closest to the bale chamber are cast aluminum, the other ones that pivot are 1/2 inch steel rods. Thanks.

i use to have some problems bailing sudax for hay. if the stalk gets to big it want turn and go through easy. the auger seems to just slide on them. i was just thinking that if you could find a used auger priced right and welded some washers or something to the edge of the auger to make it grip the hay and push it over better to the fingers that might help.

mount you a small wheeled tire on the pick up reel to where it will act like a gague wheel and then adjust the teeth down to where you want them and let the wheel run free. if you have access to a ih dealer you can look for one on a 440 ih baler to get the picture in your mind. i'd use a good size tire so it want be bouncing around a lot going down into small depressions. not going down to deep will help save the teeth too. if that doesn't help you i don't know if you could add some kicker wheels like some vermeer round balers have on them or not. its a rubber fingered wheel that helps push the hay into the throat better on some round balers. the best thing you can do is to not cut your hay to short. it takes it longer to grow back, plus cutting it long will help keep the cut hay up off the ground and let air circulate under it and cause it to dry better. if your cutting with a machine that has flaps on the rear to pile the hay in a windrow narrow them down until they are the width of you pick up or a little smaller. of course when you do this it makes it harder for the hay to dry.

How far off the ground are the pick up teeth when the pickup is in the bale position? You may have to adjust the gauge wheel so the pickup teeth are closer to the stubble.
