I was running my neighbors JD 467 baler and all went well until we put in a new roll of wrap. After wrapping, it failed to cut the wrap. My neighbor said that the same thing happened the last time he replaced a roll and after cutting a few of the wraps with a pocket knife, it would start working again. We hand cut around 3 bales and called it a day due to darkness. The next morning he had his mechanic out and they rolled up one bale and according to the mechanic, it all looked like everything was doing what it was supposed to, except it didn't cut the wrap. So, they cut it by hand and rolled another one and from that point it worked flawlessly.
The mechanic said that the brake was set right and shouldn't be the problem. He suspects it has something to do with the new "supersized" rolls of wrap as he ran into the same problem with a JD466 baler with a different customer.
I'd like to help my neighbor get this worked out because it sounds like he's going to want me to run this machine quite a bit if it ever rains around here and I don't relish the thought of crawling under the baler after the first 5 rolls after a net change.
Would love to here some input from some JD experts.
Thanks.
