Bale shape
The bale shape is controlled only by the operator or
the swath type.
Feeding the baler according to the above instruc-
tions, cylindrical shaped bales are produced, ex-
tremely compact, with a good resistance against
weather agents.
Usually, bales with strange shapes such as barrel,
truncated--cone or irregular in any way create prob-
lems of baling, wrapping and transport; further on,
they are more subject to the influence of weather
agents.
DRIVE LINE
Shearbolts
The drive line of FB round balers is protected by
shearbolts with breaking loads:
universal joint shearbolt (located on the baler side
universal joint spider), re. 1 fig. 27, a M8x50 (8.8)
shearbolt.
Floor roll shearbolts (located on the round baler right
side), re. 1, fig. 29, two M10x45 (8.8) shearbolts.
Pick--up and wrapper shearbolts (located on the
round baler left side), only on FB 212 L and FB 215
L models, re. 1, fig. 28, two M8x40 (8.8) shearbolts.
If a shearbolt breaks down for whatever reason,
check the baler and try to find the cause.
The shearbolts are designed to hold a standard load
during baling operations; usually they can break in
case of overloads or in case of clogging.
WARNING: replace the broken shearbolts
with others having the same dimensions (e.g.
M8x50) and resistance (class 8.8), as only the
shearbolts with the prescribed load can protect the
baler mechanical components.
