Kubota BV4160E, 1000 Bale Review

[@danielthomason5685]

I have about 4000 on mine....no issues....eats hay like nothing

[@Earth_Care_Cowboy]

What string size do you use ?

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

Tytan 20000/110 string. We cover that in the "How we set ours" video

Hi Jesse, so we took delivery of our new 4160e and the dealer came to set it up today and bale some hay. We began baling and with a 44" role forming for our first bale, the pickup jammed up with hay and broke the pickup sheer bolt. We were only baling at 2.5 mph on a normal sized windrow, 500rpm PTO speed. The installer was riding with me, no warning messages audible or otherwise until the sheer bolt broke. What a mess. Took the installer an hour to clear the hay and replace the sheer bolt. The installer admitted he wasn't real familiar with this model but couldn't suggest we did anything wrong. While he was working on the baler it began to rain so we postponed further testing while we wait for better weather. Any thoughts? Don Riders Up Farm, College Grove Tn

Yes I had that problem. I fought it on thick hay last year. You need to open your baffle plate. It may be too tight for thick hay. You can adjust it but also you can move it up. It isn't covered in the manual. Watch our video " last field biggest one this year part 2" I think I cover the adjustment in it. Shoot us a email at the Gmail account if you need anything else

You did good job on the yea and the nea of the bailer!

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

Yes sir, thanks

[@Earth_Care_Cowboy]

OK I’ll take a look at the video because I’m having a lot of issues with my Baylor

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

Yeah Check it out. I go thru some of the issues I have had and what I have done to correct them. I also give some base line settings on string.

Enjoyed the video Jesse! God bless

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

Thanks man. Hope you're doing good

Any videos on the kubota rotary 1042 rake?

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

Sorry, but we don't have a kubota rake. We run a vemeer rake

[@doncarniato4207]

Thanks Jesse, we just bought one for our horse farm. Should be delivered in a week or so. Appreciate the tips.

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

No problem, glad the tips helped. It should make you a good baler

Thanks, will do.

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

Also check your windrow width. The wheels on the intake may be holding the windrow down. This will cause the intake to start jamming in the edges next to the wheels. Then it will eventually plug the entire intake. I think I have the rake set 1 inch narrower than the windrow. I plugged my bailer twice day one for this reason

[@doncarniato4207]

@@LampleyBrothersFarming I recall that tip from the first video I watched. I think we were OK there but I'll check that next time we run this baler. I passed your baffle plate comment onto my dealer's mechanic. I appreciate your help. Oddly enough the day prior I rolled up some hay with my old 648 New Holland without a bit of trouble. Oh well.

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

Probably the baffle height then. I run my baffle loose enough that it rattles some while baling. If it is rattling then I know it is wide enough, and is feeding good. When it quits rattling I know to look at the intake to ensure it isn't starting to plug. That is how I handle not having a plugging alarm. Cause it is a pain to un plug. You will get it figured out. It is just a different Baler, so it takes some getting use to.
