Hesston 5540 round baler manual10/29/2023 Anyway, I rolled it for him and got my money. The only thing we could find on the baler that was 'iffy' was the main slip clutch, but he said that once the bale started that he could roll them up fast as he wanted no problem, so I doubt the main clutch was slipping during core formation yet could transmit the horsepower to keep a big bale turning in the chamber without slipping. I'm running an 81 Ford (Gehl) 552 and I managed fine, but I could tell it was a load. He rolled each swath back over into a windrow as I was baling, because two swaths made too big of a windrow. He was in heavy Gordo bluestem and it was REAL thick and kinda slippery but it was well cured and ready to bale, not overly dry or anything. We checked his baler over from stem to stern and couldn't find anything particularly wrong with it but it clogged at least five times and he only managed to roll three bales before he gave up and called me to bale it for him. I think his is a 505 E if I remember right. Had a neighbor have the same kind of problem on his Vermeer baler recently.
