Question for Roger in Ia or anyone else????

Item #6 is what hits the micro switch and item #9 is the channel. The picture looks different than the ones on my balers. I just went and looked at them. I have two JD 567s.

They do that every now and then. Usually you will find the net wrap in a ball behind the knife. The sensor that tells you if there is net wrap on the bale is activated by a swinging "L" shaped piece of sheet steel. This is right in front of the knife, it goes completely across the baler. It activates a micro switch on the right side of the mesh wrap attachment. I have had issues with this getting hay behind it so it can't swing and also just rusted up at the the pivots. It just has a rod that slides into a flat bracket with a hole drilled in it. A cotter pin on each end holds it in. It is activated when the knife/brush pushes the wrap up toward the baler as it cuts it off. It has to move real easy or it will not work right. When it is stuck the monitor still thinks it has not finished the bale. The cycle is not complete so the warning system is in kind of limbo. It does not show a bale not wraped so part of it thinks it should be putting mesh wrap on. Another parts knows it has timed out so no more wrap is applied. You have to raise the gate to get the monitor to reset.

Been eleven years since I have been around a baler. Sounds like the net was not activated, otherwise there would have been net somewhere. Need to have someone watch the wrap mechanism as it wraps.

Others chime in here.
