I have a JD 224 engine drivin wire baler. It works nearly flawlessly as long as you are feeding it hay but will break one or both wires if you have to let it run in very thin hay or have to make a figure 8 turn when there is no hay being fed into it. The tension is not excessive and everything seems to be in good condition. It makes nice consistant bales as long as you can keep hay to it. Not a big problem but is a little anoying at times. Does anyone have any sugestions to help cure the problem as it is not alwayse possable to keep a good load of hay fed to it. Thanks Steve

Steve,the reason for your sq.baler or any brand sq.baler breaking wire on bales while running at rated rpm's with little or no hay being feed into it is that when it ties the wire is wrapped around twister shafts until more hay feeds into chamber to push previously tied bale back and pull wire from shafts and hooks.The wire around shafts and hooks gets flexed every time plungerhead beats against hay in chamber and then breaks as soon as bale is out of chamber.The only cure is to slow baler rpm's or stop baler from turning.Why do you make figure 8 turns?Do you rake a field around and around?That way you should have a continuos flow of hay going into baler.Have a nice day baling,JimB

Jim, I don't have nice square or round fields "wish I did" so there are times that you will have a long point where you cut a field in to in the middle. Field is wider at both ends than it is in the center. And we have some odd shaped corners that if you tried to swath making a round corner you would miss a lot of hay. We farm here in northern Idaho and flat ground is somewhat scarce. We farm out on the breaks and as far down over the side hills as we can thus we have some odd shaped fields. Thanks for the info. Steve
