Hey I have a vermeer 605j baler and if I go to start baling it vomits hay out of the pickup and then the belts start to go on top of each other do you have any idea what could be wrong?

[@machineryd2765]

I bet we can figure it out. When you say vomits out of pickup is it coming over top of the wind guard? What rpm are you running? How dry is the hay?

[@Maliknove-f6n]

The hay is about 14 %and I run it about 1500 rpm the hay comes over top of the wind gard

@@Maliknove-f6n that happens to me sometimes when the hay is pretty dry. It gets light and instead of starting to roll it pushes back out over wind guard. For this I'd try lowering rpm until bale gets started. But you said your belts were also climbing each other. Sometimes if the belts don't have enough tension on the at the start this can happen. I'd check the airbag pressure and my k also has stops under tension arms that limit tension when closed and empty. May check that if your J has it.

OK thanks for your help

@@Maliknove-f6n no problem if it doesn't help let me know. Also if you still have problems with belts climbing or flipping check how you are weaving. Once the bale is larger it's less important but at the start it's critical. Try starting by feed hay at one end of the pickup and immediately and evenly moving all the way across. Sometimes starting on one side works better than starting in the middle. Thanks for watching 👍
