8540

[mike_horgan]

Hi everyone! I have an 8540 that I've hitched up to my 5 x 5 round Baler. The Baler has three hydraulic lines. Two to open and close the back door to discharge the wrapped bale and the other single line to adjust the height of the pick up. Does anyone know what adjustments if any to the levers in the cab have to be made in relation to the hydraulic pump? or is it just hook up and go?

regards Mike in Ballarat

Hi,

If your tractor only has 3 couplings at the back it won't work as one is a return line. You'll need another spool valve or a diverter.

Hi Mike!
Thanks for the reply. The tractor has 5 couplings on the back. I've used one set for the rams to open and close the bale chamber and that seems to work fine. I have used one of the the other set for a single acting ram that raises the pick up tines. It all seems to work well. The manual is a little confusing though. The tractor seems to pull and work like a train. Economical too. Glad I've got it. Thanks again. Mike
