[QUOTE="HayDr, post: 1728149, member: 40581"] The 569 has the drop and go feature on it. Which this feature means, there is no need to stop the tractor PTO. 530,535 & early 566 balers do not have this feature. This feature freezes the belt tightening arm in the current position when the gate is opened. The bales should stop cuz of no added pressure and the bale drops. The belts can wad up on the tailgate if they stick to the upper drive roller, once the bale drops. If the drive roller has a burr or if something sticky is on the belts they will wad up. When installing new belts its best to spray liquid silicone lubricant on the back side (smooth side) of the belts. OEM belts for 569 should be glass smooth on the backside. If they are textured, then the belts are for the earlier JD balers 567 and before or Case-IH balers. Textured back belts will eventually work after 50-100 bales, once the texture wears down. If you have smooth belts and treat the back of the belts with silicone and you still have the problem, then the drop and go switch is not working properly. [/QUOTE]
