HI First I would ask, do you see a difference in baling straw, hay 1st or 2nd cut or is all about the same? Baling direction I don't thinks so. Row size, maybe. Speed of ground traveled, maybe. Speed of baler, maybe. How high is your hitch? Do the 68's have bale stops or wegdes ( sp) ? Crop too dry? That is a big one. Bale too long? Bale too tight? I use a allis chalmer 444 to bale these all make a difference in that type of baler. IF I HAVE TROUBLE Normaly I clean out all of the crop, from the baler. Loosen the bale tension springs, reset where I think they should be, set both the same, to start. If things look funny I tighten the bigger of the to sides two turns bale a couple more bale and recheck . Do up to 3 times, no more than 6-8 turns different on my baler ( your can or may have a weak bale spring) so yours maybe different. Look from back and see if it looks square, not going to make a square bale if too out of shape. Is there any ram setting like a wear broard, or rollers, track cleaners, that may need set. Feed rake, do they ( the bales look like they have curved packed hay like it is turned or twised ( sp ), may need worked on, or reset, re timed. Do give up. I get allot of this , it is an art to use a baler that has had 150,000-200,000 bales though it , but she bin a good one. Best of Luck!!!!
