:Larry I don't think I have the answer, but you're covering the basics by clean, lube, and shed, those solve/prevent a lot of problems. Each baler has an optimum operating cycle per min.
My old NH Model 80 has a V 4 Wisconsin Air Cooled. I have to adjust the engine rpm to achieve 50-52 cycles per minute on the baler. You said you were pulling in low gear at 1100 rpm. If the baler is a pto variety that sounds way to slow for the baler to function properly.
Check the operating manual or call the dealer to determine the optimum operating rpm and then stay on that number. Underspeed will result in all three problems you are experiencing. You usually aren't being kind to machinery by babying it.
Good luck, hope I helped. Dick : I have a NH 237 wire tie baler that is giving me a hard time. I am open to suggestions on how to adjust the thing or how to change my approach. : First Problem: I have to keep my windrows very small in size...12"x12". Anything larger than that and the baler will eat bull wheel shear bolts #5 hardness as fast as I can put them in. I am moving forward in low side of first gear...snail slow at 1100rpms. : Second Problem: My fail to tie rate is about 6%.
: The tie is either completely missed or incomplete.
: When I bought the baler, I had the tie fingers replace and set by a person who was familiar with NH operations. : In summary, I am producing bales in the 65-70 lb range of grass/alfalfa mix and they don't feel like they are over loading the wires. I keep the equipment clean, sheded, and lubricated. AT my current rate, I can successfully bale 30 bales an hour....hell the horses eat faster than that! : Open to all ideas and suggestions.
