rhudson is right on. If you are raking a good windrow the problem is the feeder tines. Most folks that are not familiar with baling will rake the windrow too small. Don't worry about getting the windrow too big. I bale good tight square bales with 68 & 69 Hayliners and Super Hayliners with twine and wire knotters both. I run my windrow up til it's almost as tall as the windrow pickup chamber and almost as wide. Remember that you can always decrease your ground speed til it feeds right with too much windrow, but you can't hang on to the tractor and ride fast enough for a thin windrow to bale right. Standing at the back of the baler with the feeder tine door open you will see 3 sets of tines. The flex steel set on the very far right end are non adjustable. The other 2 sets of aluminum tines adjust opposite to the way you need to move hay into the chamber. In other words if the left side of bale is too short move the tines to the right a couple of inches at a time til you balance the bale. If the right side of bale is too short move the tines to the left a couple of inches at a time till the bale balances.
