Report on New Holland Round Baler Still Need Help

The father-in-law's baler is a New Holland 851. He never bothered to get an operator's manual so neither one of us knew what we were doing. We figured it out except for one thing. Some of the hay was very fine grass similar to your yard. It was also very dry. Instead of feeding from the pickup to the bale chamber it would ball up behind the pickup. The big apron chain would help it feed upwards and plug the pickup along with the area in the front of the baler. The windrows were very light so we tried double windrowing so more material would feed. That didn't help. Tried different tractor speeds and that didn't matter either. In other places the hay was a little greener and heavier and it worked just fine. Anybody got any ideas besides getting rid of the 4020 we were using for an Oliver?

The book I have on my 850 NH says it works better if you bale when there is a little dew on the hay. I've never had much trouble with it not picking up instead I have problerms with getting to much hay in. It also works better if you can put 2 windrow side by side with about a foot inbetween them. That way you don't have to play drunk as badly as you do if you only have 1 windrow. If you have more question I have the manual right here by the computer so I could see what it says.

Might try starting the roll withthe heavier wetter hay then running a little faster through the really dry stuff. We used to have a 851 and may still have the manual around somewhere. I'll look today and see if we do.

The father-in-law called a little while ago. He baled this morning while the grass was tough and it worked just fine. Someone who knows came over and told him the same thing. The light grass won't feed when it is that dry.
