Deere 567 twine arm issue

Hopefully someone here can help as this is becoming quite aggravating! Baler is a 567 with 12,000 bales on the counter. Twine only no net.
Bale reaches full size, monitor gives long beep and twine arms extend like normal. They make the end wraps on right side then start to travel across. This is where the problem occurs, for some reason they speed up and travel about half way across the bale then go back to normal and make left side end wraps.
I have loosened twine tension and it seems to help a little but still does it occasionally with tension backed all the way off. I'm using Tytan 110-20,000' balls.
BTW a neighbor has exact same baler and his does same thing. Any ideas?

Small square Twine tails

Since making the move to using a bale barron been noticing a lot of twine tails getting compressed in the bundles therefore making it to the delivery site. Even had some customers complain about the tails on the bales. They are Concerned about animals consuming them.

What is everyone's thought on this. We were thinking of using a fan to blow them off the bales. This of course raises the concern of having them cover the hay fields. And they could really add up, 4 cuttings per year. Being plastic they will be there a long time. And also We dont want to be raking them into windrows on the next cuttings.

Anybody ever use enviro cord from cordex? Suppose to break down from uv rays in 3 months.
Also anybody have concerns about twine tails all over fields and getting into your product?

Never gave any of this a thought before. I guess with a Bale wagon the tails got knocked off well before making it to the customer

I am going to be putting a couple of hives of bees in the mountains of extreme North Georgia. Bears are a problem so i need a electrified deterrent. I will be using barbed wire strands to electrify so that it will reach well into the bears fur and hide.

 

I have not bought a charger in 20 years and what I have are all 110 volt and I need something for a remote location....and as reasonably priced as allowed for something that will for sure work well. Any first hand recommendations?

I feel as though US beef has weathered the storm and is now on a long term upwards trend...I hope.

fabri-cobbled a grapple

The new barn an new skid steer left me in-want of another grapple; while I was at it, I decided to go with a steffen style as it had added height and appears easier to use when you can't see the top of the stack from a skid steer.

Here is the grapple that I've been fabricobbling on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the Steffen's style as I plan on only using this one to unload from the wagons into the barn and out of the barn back onto customers' trailers. I doubt it would work well in the field as it won't “crowd” the pack to tighten it up prior to loading.

This is what I have in it, so far. I have not installed took possession of the cylinder yet, so there are no cylinders or hoses on it yet.

 

.

s60-35 wire for spool gun on mig welder  (can be had cheaper, but I like the supplier)    $44.75
17 1/4-28 grease zerks         $3.70
2x10 cylinder           $20.00 (used)
½” plate (2'x3'), drill rod (bushing mat'l) and hyd cyl ram (swivel pin mat'l) (scrap yard) $25.00
3/8 skid steer plate (palletforks.com)       $116.00
1 plasma cutter tip (consumed)        $1.70
1 spool gun tip (consumed)         $1.15
1 chop saw blade (consumed)        $6.95
electricity           $TBD
2  4-1/2 grinder wheels         $1.98
Hydraulic hoses          $TBD
Pioneer male ends          $14.98
Grapple Hooks (Agrisupply) (24 + spare)       $233.89
½ x 2 hot rolled flat    weight  68.     $33.15
3x2x.188 hot rolled tubing- rectangle (2) weight 268.32     $167.70
1x1/2x1/8 hot rolled bar channel (2)  weight 33.6     $22.85
1” hot rolled round (2)    weight 106.8     $43.50
3/16x3 hot rolled flat (2)    weight 76.52     $36.16
5x2x.188 hot rolled tubing-rectangle   weight 195.60     $122.25

 

I'm at @$895 right now with hoses and fittings to buy and electricity to figure or a all-inclusive price (with the exception of depreciation of welders, chop saws, etc...)

 

Note, there is steel left-over from the build that can be used for other projects, but the cost is attributable to the build as it was a necessary purchase in whole-lengths.

Got my barn, too

Well, I bit the bullet and borrowed the money to put up a barn as the some land and a skid steer decimated my piggy bank and I REALLY needed another barn for this year's hay crop. I baled @5k idiot bricks last year and had them stored all over the place. Some in my 30x84 hoop building, but it was a pain because it wasn't all the same field/quality/price and I had to stack it side-to-side and could only enter from the end. I had straw behind 900 bales of hay and couldn't sell it 'til the hay was sold. I wanted a 36x112 barn and wanted 14' bays on the south side. The reason it “needed” to be 112 as it was divisible by 8 AND 14 as rafters are on 4' and posts are on 8' on the back wall and the bays are 14' to allow for two rows of hay in each bay. It will theoretically hold 6400 small bales in 16 rows.

 

 

I really like building my own stuff, but time was too short to get it done...and my aches and pains coupled with my dad (71) is my help... The Amish got the bid.

 

 

 

 

 

These guys started @8 am on Monday, and by 11am on Wednesday it was done. I timed them putting up sheets on the north side. 45 seconds per sheet!! They set all the rafters in a little under an hour. There were 4 or 5 guys (depending on the day) on the crew.

 

It never ends...now I want/need a different grapple so I can make use of the height of the barn (14' under rafters)...it JUST never ends!!!
