On my 316 baler, if I'm getting too much hay in the left side of the bale, do I move the feeder tines closer together or farther apart? There are two places in the operators manual that contradict one another. Thanks, Rob

Hi rob. Larry's post is a good one. If he found something that works, my hat is off to him. In general, this has been a New Holland problem since the old 68 balers came out. I have played around with this issue for over 20 years and I quit. You can move those tines around all you want, but no two fields and windrows are ever the same. Basicly, it comes down to how large your windrow is, how fast you drive, and if you keep the windrow to the inside or outside of the pickup while feeding in. One other thing though, make sure all your haydogs and springs are in good order. Steve

Rob: I have been running a HN316 for over 13 years now and have experienced your issues time and time again. About 3 years ago in trying to solve this issue once and for all I ended up repositioning the "front" bale chamber hay wedge located on the left side (as looking into the bale chamber), directly accross from the wedge located on the right side of the the chamber. The two were offset by 4" or so. I used some old fashioned reasoning and logic along with a good understanding on bale formation to come up this idea. All that was needed was to drill two new holes in the left side of the bale chamber. Yes, some fine tuning was needed with the hay feeding forks but this one change has given me a totally new baler and no more to VERY FEW NH bananna bales!!! In general, you should start moving the large feed fork toward the left while moving the small fork to the right, singly or in tandem depending on how your bales look. I usually make marks on the tube so that I can keep track of where I started. This is helpful when things go in an unexpected manner. We bale mostly brome, timothy and alfalfa mixes along with a lot of straw. My customers are impressed with the size, shape and quality of the bales our 316 puts out. Over all I am very pleased with how the modification worked out.
