| I just got the brand new baler this season. It is a 7060 with the wide pick-up and net wrap and no other extras. It has a bug I haven't been able to solve. The pick-up plugs up a LOT. The dealer came out and adjusted the slip clutches. They were part of the problem. Now the hay catches on the second bar of the wind guard and the pickup teeth fold under the hay instead of pushing it to the grabbers. Usually only part of the pick-up is plugged. The hay is not packed in the plug very dense. It will not clear itself. The book says if it plugs the baler is being run too fast or the wind rows are too big. Neither is the case, and the hay is dry. (30 4x5 bales on 18 A. at .8 to 1.6mph. 540-570 pto rpm. Faster ground speed and it plugs quicker) The salesman told me a lot of guys bale at 5 to 7 mph. The book says to unplug it take off the wind guard and run the baler slow until the plug is cleared. If that doesn't work pull the hay by hand. To finished up tonight I put the wind guard in the ditch. I had a whole lot less trouble. Maybe that's the answer? I still have 130A of second cutting to go. At the rate I'm going I'll be baling in the snow. |

 S.W. Manitoba | WOW that is slow. I bale at 6mph with a 2756 Hesston. No problems. Thats a 28ft swath. Running fingers tight I find makes it feed better. Hopefully they figure it out. Take care, Nathan |

 Sumner GA, Located in southwest GA, | Is your stuffer fork in right. Sounds as if the forks aren pushing the hay in the chamber. |

 | On our CaseIH RBX462(same baler, older model) there is an adjustment on the windguard for how much it can float front to back, independent of the chains. I have it set where it puts very little pressure on the hay, with the chains for the windgaurd fairly long. In really dry hay, you will have to slow down to start the bale, but, once it is rolling good, you should be able to haul butt 5mph in BIG windrows. Normally get 45-60 bales per hour at 4x6. |

 Leesburg, Ohio | Had the same problem, but not as severe, with my BR780 (similar baler, older model, makes a 5x6 bale). Tended to plug on the ends of the wide pickup. I thought from the beginning that the two-piece windguard was the trouble. It was installed as an update by the dealer. I made them get me the old one-piece windguard, and I reinstalled it myself. No more problems. The two-piece windguard puts way too much pressure on the windrow as it comes up into the pickup...it wants to smash the windrow down to about a 2" thick mass, and force it to spread out, but it just doesn't work that way. Leave to two-piece guard in the ditch, get the old style one-piece. BTW, I can usually run our baler at about 5 to 8 mph with windrows big enough to completely fill one side of the pickup, big enough that they will barely squeeze under the tractor . It will still plug when crossing a windrow on occassion, but very, very seldom. Happened once so far this year. |

| N.E. Iowa | We have several guys that run without the windgaurd. |

| SC Kansas | We are having similar troubles with a BR750. Does anybody know if changing to the more aggressive hole in the stuffer help? Are's seems to plug on the end of pu to usually after turning and gauge wheel runs over the windrow or starting a bale. Once the bale is started rolling it will eat some hay, but starting a bale makes me miss are Hesston. |

| Wi Dells, WI | Take that wind guard and send it to the scrap yard! I've baled for 5 years now with the br750 with wide pickup w/o a wind guard. Once it is off you will open up it mouth and it will eat. A IH 1086 in high 1, t/a ahead all the time, the only concern is that the tractor can get over the windrow. Also I'm not just weekend baling, it'll use about 12 rolls of net wrap every year baling. Also on the 750 the starter rolls can wear out making it hard to start bales, welding 1/4" key stock on them will bring the baler starting back to life. good luck |

| east central saskatchewan | I had a BR 750 with rotcut for several years. Mine started to plug up on one side. I checked the augers on the side of p/u. there is a scraper behind. One was way to far of the flighting. I moved both as close to the flighting and the p/u never plugged up on either side. I got rid of that baler later due to more severe problems and poor dealer support. Martin |

| Southern MN and Central IA | I would put it in the more aggressive hole. The new series doesn't have the option of switching holes, its already set in the more aggressive position from the factory and the other hole was eliminated. |

| Northwestern Minnesota | I have a NH 664 i would like to trade but i have heard too many horror stories about the wide pickup with end augers[mine is the narrow pickup] i have no problem running 32 ft tru it i am suprised how it takes the hay with straw i have to drive slow to get bale started but then i am ok |
