square and round baler problems yesterday

Decided to do some square bales and then finish with rounds. Put Grandson in law on the wagon (he has no experience so it's my fault). Tightened the baler down some and wasn't paying attention too much and started baling after telling him if they were too heavy or too light let me know but I guess he didn't want me to think he was a weakling. Baler started breaking twine and we couldn't figure out why till I got on the wagon and picked up a bale, it must have weighed 100+ lbs and I could hardly get my fingers under the twine. Yep way too tight so backed it off and baler went back to baling like it always has. Started baling 4x4 rounds and on the 11th bale had 2 belts twist but thank goodness they didn't break. I had picked up a tree limb in the windrow about 3" in dia and about 2' long, never saw the darned thing when mowing tedding or raking or needless to say when baling. We got the belts turned back over and finished baling, nothing hurt but my pride on the square baler and that was totally my fault, now the limb is another story. Alls well that ends well and nothing broken and everything fixed in the field, just took a few minutes so no problem

It was good you didn't have anything broken.

Don't feel too bad Keith, I tried to bale a limb exactly that size with my MF224 one time. It was right under a tree in a heavy timothy area and in a double windrow. It bent a needle.
