Having issues with a Vemeer 504F (4 bar pickup head / electric tie). I have already put new cam track bearings and pins in the pickup head, and it has good teeth. I adjusted the pickup teeth to 2" from the rubber flaps like the book says.
I took the baler out in the field today and it will make one roll perfectly (run up to 4x5 and the pickup head disengages) and tie it off. The next roll will start a core and then the hay will start rolling up between the back of the pickup head and the drive roll in front of the bale chamber. I have tried adjusting the pickup teeth closer and farther away from the starter roll as well as changing the angle of the hitch to change the pickup height. The hay is mature (thanks to all the rain) and I have tried raking double vs. single windrows and still the same result. I have tried different ground speeds and PTO rpms. I have tried dragging a little of the windrow up with the pickup head to throw a slug in to start the bale.Do I need to change the rubber flaps on the starter roll or are there deeper issues here? If I have to dig this thing out one more time its going to the scrap yard!
Any thoughts or somebody telling me what I am missing would be much appreciated, Thanks...
