Got a Massey 143. Was making heavy/tight (Yay!!) bales all day. Working great.
Baled roughly 25 acres yesterday evening. Everything went fine. Went to a new field, it plugged up on me. I mean really plugged up, with fine/not stemmy grass. Cleared the plug. Went back to baling. Well, it kept plugging. Even in 1st low.
Opened it up, grass was everywhere it shouldnt be. In belts, between belts and rollers, literally everywhere. Cleared it all out(i think), went to try it again. Picked up fine. Started stuffing the chamber as usual. About halfway into the roll, i noticed smoke coming from the front top roller area. Smelled like rubber.
Any thoughts? Could i have missed some grass in the belt/roller area?
Whats the usual culprits? Rollers did not feel hot. Pretty sure i felt them all.
