New Holland Bale Monitor

What's the scoop on this full bale monitor? Book says "audible alarm". What kind of "audible"? I assume the red light comes on too?

Never used one before, but it might be kind of handy if it's not too obnoxious. :>)

Thanks,

That looks like the monitor that came with my 664. The guy I bought it from said that I had the choice of that one, which came with a 660, or the original one that came with the baler. He had both on two different tractors he used to run the baler. I was going to run it on my old 4010 with the noisy rattle box cab, so I took the one with the light. Boy does it work! I could hear the buzzer over the noise in the cab and through my earplugs. What kind of tie does that baler have? Is it Auto Wrap or does the buzzer just tell you to manually tie the bale?

It's just a straight, normal hydraulic tie and the switch is just a contract switch at the full bale chamber. This thing just keeps ya from having to constantly watch that indicator on the baler.

Baler came with three of these monitors; all built the same, for three different tractors, I'd assume.

I was just wondering if ya have to reach over there and switch the thing off/on on every bale to keep it from drivin' ya nuts while you're tying? Or, can a guy live with the racket?

Noise and I just don't get along too well. :>)
