Good Morning all
I am new to this site and think is wonderful.
I have a 925 MF conditioner. I have cut twice with it and she is running pretty well.
Two things however. One it was not crushing the hay as it should gap set a 1/8� with middle hole spring pressure (unit floats at 50lbs each side). So the next try I dropped the gap too touching.
After I was done I notice that the back side of the drive belt was wearing real fast.
I know I was only to leave a min gap of 1/16� but the contact surface between the rollers is not 100% uniform.
Also it did not seem to crimp the hay very well even at 100% contact. Does anyone have some trick on this?

Thanks Don

Hi

We have hay conditionner for years I think the conditionner has two functions
1) Squeeze the hay to extract water and humidity
2) When the hay get out of the rollers it flufs
and pile sporadicly for aerating to facilitate
drying. The ground speed is important if too fast the hay will be throwed too fast and will fall flat on the ground and will take loooonger to dry.

My 2�

Thanks for the reply.
That is what I though as well about too much pressure. Especially when you start hammering up and down. Do you see a difference in the strands, when you place the rollers at the right distance. Are they crushed or squeezed at all? If not what does this process do? I had some hay that developed a lot of dust when stored and a buddy of mine said it was because the hay was not crushed and there was too much humidity left in the hay.
What to do?
Thanks Don

they don't really crush the hay and they are not like the old crimpers that bent the hay every inch or so. i would put your rolls back the way they were. when you lift the haybine the roles open and when it's down cutting they close and with a lot of hay going in that don't leave a lot of room. seen guys brake roles because they had them to tight
