    What ever revs gives me 1k

    Should be alright at that, atleast it should be enough to fill swarth boards.... What way is conditioner set? Is it down tight or only tickling the grass? You can see the difference in how far it throws it out the boards depending how tight it's set.

    Be up fairly high. Never thought of moving the conditioner. Would I get better wilt in sward?
    I evened up the boards and still no better

    Yeah the tighter the hood is to the tines the better the wilt should be, but it can up the diesel use a bit, also if cutting very heavy crops, the likes of Italian, be careful it's not set to tight or you'll burn the belts off it, and that ain't fun... I think the genuine tarrup is €300ish but its a special one piece 3rib....

    I cant think of any other reason it would be in even tho... Its a strange one, mowed at various speeds here(7-12k) and haven't had any bother but do notice the conditioner setting can change it a bit...

    Id say its fair annoying alright... Its a strange one anyways... And its not just that the tractor wheel is driving one one side of the swarth more than the other? Although id kinda guess not when the bales are lob sided as it should pack in the same...

    If the bales are lopsided then it's the mower/conditioner that is at fault, as you would want to be taking in a much larger amount on one side for it to be noticeable when packed in a bale, a few lumps in the sward wouldn't cause that to happen.

    My father us near throwing the baler monitor away he's so fed up with it beeping at him saying the bale isn't even

    he's a montbeliarde x , wouldn't have a clue of his weight but the photos don't do justice to his size , .. he's not carrying a lot of flesh

    he's at least 6 foot tall and very wide back end as well he must be 12 to 14 years old at least

    No bother only had to drop one gear going up a very steep hill. It's only a 7 ton load but the trailer has no brakes so that was the only hassle.

    She was carting last year with a 10 tonne trailer. Now she felt that on the road but at least it had brakes

    After a days rain, the calves managed to find a dry spot on one of the stone drains and organised themselves...
