Anyone ever straighten out the strutural part of the baler after upsetting it on a hillside? There is a twist to the structural part of the bale chamber. Just wondering how to go about straightening this back out. Need to tie the baler down to the floor and pull the twist out of the top structure. How?? About a 2-3" twist in it now. Thanks

Do you have an autobody shop nearby with facilities to straighten auto frames/bodies? A few years ago they were quite the tool, with anchor points all over, and a framework so the operator could pull at the auto at most any angle. Might check around, may still be some in usable shape.

Well since I have 25+ years in the autobody and frame repair field I can say the problem with them is most do not have the ability to pull that high off the floor. And I can just see them squirm when I ask to have my round baler straightened out.HA? I am looking for other alternatives to hook up and pull along with ancoring systems. Thanks Ray.

I have had to twist back serval pieces of equipment. We have four electrical pole guide wire anochors in the ground that we bind down the piece of equipment to. We also block up the parts that we don't want to move. Then we use a log skidder cylinder hooked to the tractor remotes to twist the frame.

Neat idea Jim. I never thought of using anchors in the ground. I'm always thinking of working on concrete. I'm just glad this is not my baler but my neighbors. Insurance adjuster told him to set it back up and "see if it will bale". Typical ins.company always stalling and trying to save a buck at your expense. We'll see what happens tomorrow after he gets it upright.

Have the tractor hooked to the baler when working on it. After you think you have it straight put the PTO in gear and make sure the belts track right. Some of the newer baler have adjustment for belt tracking if they are maxed out or not there then go back with the cylinder.
