I have a 5500 rebel that the bales are not dense at all. Some of them I can stick my hand inside the middle of the bale. Any ideas? Just got the baler this year. The hydraulic adjustment is down as far as it will go. Thanks in advance.
They will make a real tight bale as my neighbor has a 5500 and I have a 505M. There has to be something wrong with the tension.dun":2e6b7k1c said:I would suspect leaking hydraulic tension cylinders if it has them or insufficient hydraulic flow/pressure from the tractor
If it has hydraulic tension cylinders I woudl throw a kit in both of them and be done with it.jltrent":2gzhozf4 said:They will make a real tight bale as my neighbor has a 5500 and I have a 505M.

Its staying on one side or the other of the windrow and not in the middle.James T":v4ghvenf said:Not sure what you mean by "pack the sides". I have the 5410 and the pressure gets turned "up" (rather than down) with a knob located inside the drivers side door. The baler has a pressure gauge mounted on the front passenger side that can be viewed from the tractor seat. There's also the mechanically adjusted belt tensioner bar at the top of the baler that can be adjusted.
