    Posted: 11 hours 42 minutes ago at 9:54am
Trying to bail another round of hay with my old Roto baler. Having some trouble with it this around. The pickup chain keeps jumping off the drive gears and binding up. Hay seems to be getting jammed underneath the pickup bars. The roller at the end of the pickup spins pretty easily but that is not rotating so that does not help things. The pick drive belt is new

The hay I’m trying to bale is not great hay to say the least I cut it with an old Mc rotary sycthe and tedded it with that as well so maybe it’s the hay itself?

Any tips to help alleviate this? Gets old shutting the tractor down every bale to pull the hay out and get the pickup tracking.

A multitude of roto-baler jam-ups are caused by trying to bale hay that is too wet for it...

Lots of people have told me that through the years...Wink

I think that was the cause tried it out again and had much better luck. I need to practice making my wind rows better that was causing a lot of trouble. And towards the end it started to eject the bale without ever putting the twine on it. Need to read the manual again and keep it lubed up.

While on the subject of hay does anyone have recommendations seed to plant in a small field (5acres or less) that has some well drained gravelly areas but also a lot of low lying clay field in the northeast? I have a of of knapweeed taking over and the field should be limed to improve the ph but I’d like to start getting it in better shape.
