Baling Hay with My Kubota M5-111 and BV4160

[@doncarniato4207]

We took delivery of a new 4160e and Kubota came out to set it up. We rolled 1/2 roll of hay (first roll) moving at 2.5mph and the darn thing plugged up with hay and broke the sheer bolt. Took better part of an hour to get running again and by that time it started raining, bad day all around. I noticed in your video that you're working with windrows larger than ours and it appears you are moving faster that we were and not having any feeding problems. Any suggestions?

[@boltactionshooter]

Nice! Both of those machines are on my wish list. How are you liking the combo?

[@calebstuckey6740]

I love the machine setup

Have you noticed the power steering being under powered? Mine will not turn the tires without driving.

ShinkleGunDog I have the same issue with my new m5-111 dealer said they can’t fix. Taking it to another dealer this week.

[@ShinkleGunDog]

@@SLCFarms let me know what they say. My dealer said it is normal..... Can't be....

[@SLCFarms]

My m7060 will turn fine all my other tractors turn fine. Just purchased the m5 in May. My loader also constantly leaks down when running and even worse when off. Kubota tried to say I can’t widen the front tires out only the rear, I never heard such a thing. Kubota knows they have a problem with the steering as there are a couple service bulletins out on them.

SLC Farms i thought about going with kubota since the dealer is closer than the Deere dealer but now I’m thinking absolutely not.

my m-108 has the same problem, has to be moving for the tires to turn. Pain in the ass when loading hay trailers
