    John Deere 457 Roundbaler help

    cowski, I know what your saying about the starter roller because that would be the logical place in my mind. The only roller on the baler that is wrapping is the top idler roller which is at the top of the baler almost directly above the starter roller.It is just behind the take-up arm roller.
