[QUOTE="mitchwi, post: 117811, member: 2063"] Yep, thats what I'm talking about. We've had ours since new about 10 years(?) now. That is the biggest complaint we have is hay collecting on those rollers, and usually seems to happen on the rollers located near the top, if you close the back door about half way, stick your head in there and look at the rollers at the front top. With the gate this far down the belts get pretty sloppy and you can move them around pretty easy. You can clean them off at this point, we keep like a putty knife handy, it works pretty well in this situation. We don't have any hay collectors on ours. We tend to rake two rows together, and even in the heaviest spots never had a problem with that. Another tip, when you start out with an empty baler, ease into the row, then weave back and forth on your row quickly at the beginning of a bale, this will also help from the bale getting lopsided and crossing a belt at the get-go. Then when you weave back and forth, I tend to count either to 5 or 10 depending on how thick/big the rows are. If you have any other questions, I will try and help you out. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
