Baler machinery
- Never leave the tractor seat until the PTO has been disengaged.
- Match tractor size to the size of the baler to avoid having a loaded baler pushing the tractor down a hill.
- Protect bystanders; gathering tines and bale chamber belts cannot be shielded, and baler gates can close on bystanders. Block baler gates before working under them.
- Worn or faulty bearings and baler belt friction can cause heat and ignite. Carry an ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher.
- Baling on hillsides can create bale-rolling problems when bales are ejected. Always orient the bale correctly before ejecting the bale from the bale chamber.
