Your baler should have the ACCU-TIE MONITOR and if the bale size POTENTIOMETER sensor is working it ought to alarm when the bale is full. Does you baler have the ACCU-TIE MONITOR as XL balers do? A couple members have that exact baler and maybe can help. I think some of those even have the ACCU-BALE PLUS MONITOR.

Can you tell me which wires I can tap into to do a manual tie on my 554xl ? Monitor crapped out

There's only two wires going to the linear actuator that applies your twine. Send 12v+ on one and ground on the other to make it go one way, and reverse polarity to make it go the other way.

I just started baling hay I've got everything in tractor and hooked up. I don't have an instruction manual so can someone tell me how to use it ?

Do you live in Hawaii? For starters a baler model helps.

For starters just drive that baler over a windrow and see if the mouth will eat it and after that when its belly gets full tie it off and take a dump.
