I had exactly the same problem with my 270 Baler last summer. There was interference between the tines and the bracket that holds the pipe. It would occasionally catch , lock up , and break the chain. Apparently it had been doing this for a long time before I bought the Baler because the chain had been patched in eight or nine places. I did a lot of research on the problem in the archives of this forum. A former poster “Steve from new Holland ““suggested taking the pipe completely out of the Baler. His fix was rather controversial. But I found no reason why the tines should be hitting the pipe , the chain was tight , and the times were aligned properly , and the carriage was moving freely in the tracks. So I took the drastic step up pulling the pipe completely out of the Baler. Since then I’ve Baler several hundred bales and the Baler seems to be functioning fine. The main purpose of the pipe is keep hay from accumulating high up in the bale chamber. That has not been a problem for me so far. And I also suggest you put a completely new chain on the Baler tension it properly , and re-time the Baler Carefully.
