[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1274274, member: 23321"] I have a 457ss, but not a magawide. I sometimes get a wad that runs up the right hand side and just stays between the 1st two belts, but doesn't build up on that top roller. When I first got my baler it was used as well and would build up on the roller right above the pto shaft/hydraulic block in wet conditions. Once it got some bales thru it it polished up and no more build up. I haven't messed with my compression rods really, and I make mostly baleage. I put 1000 bales a year through it, and it will eat whatever I throw at it for a windrow usually. In this pic, I would have gotten most build up on the red arrow, and some on the blue. But once it polished up Seldom does it build up on the roller, and I really only get the wad stuck between the belts on the black arrow. I actually took the blue roller out in the spring, and removed all paint with a wire wheel on the grinder, and then painted JD green again. most of the paint had been worn off it, and the bare metal would rust a bit, and seem to be cause some build up. New paint helped. Last season I would spray with pam cooking spray, to prevent any rust. I'm next to the ocean, so the salt air will rust bare metal like that fairly quickly otherwise.
