#VEEER 605J PRESSURE UPDATE#

The side plates hook up and over the drum roller shaft. There is one bearing on each side holding the pickup side plates to the drum roller shaft. You have to remove the v belt pulley from the right side, then you have to cut the bearings off the shaft for the drum roller. The pickup is held in place by the drum roller shaft (big bottom roller with rods on it). Has anyone faced this problem before? I'm tempted to say to heck with it and dab a bunch of graphite around the pin unless getting the whole reel out is easier than it looks. One of those bushing pins on the left side (facing the pickup) has a broken off grease fitting and to my delight I found you don't have enough space to pull out the pin in order to extract the broken zerk. We're running a 605F currently and I'm trying to figure out what all is needed to take the pickup reel off the baler. Good third crop alfalfa bales can weigh as much as 1500 lbs plus. Over all they are a good baler and if you take your time you can build some nice bales with them. Also check the tailgate pins for wear and cracks where they are welded to the frame I have seen them break off and really mess up the tailgate.

There is an update kit available with the fiber bushings and polished pins that aren't greased. Even if you grease them often there is nothing to hold the grease in. They are greased but many of the are wore bad enough that the bushings don't fit tight in the spider. They have a steel bushings that the pins and eccenctric (SP) ride in.

Take a close look at the pickup on the baler, grab the pickup teeth and see if the bar moves very much. The bottom drive roller on the Supers had a type of double roller bearing the F's had a ball bearing. The Super F had 6 bars and I am not sure but there might even be 6 in some of the later F's. Yes the first 605 F balers had 4 pickup bars then went to 5. What we do is just go really fast to start and then slow down. Sometimes it wants to start the bale ahead of the roller outside of the baler.

Starting bales with this baler can be tricky especially if the windrow is small. We do about 500 bales a year with it and so far since we have owned it we have put in a couple of bearings, which are easy to do. Our belts are about shot and have been that way for about 5 years and the cords are showing. The belt tensioner is connected to the size indicator and when the bale gets the right size it stops this way you can make sure all the bales are like peas in a pod for size. We were told that we could go until the pickup attatchment stopped truning.

It doen't have any electronics so you neck gets kinda sore from watching your belts to make an even bale. It makes nice even heavy bales if you want to. We just love it and we were kicking around the idea of getting a newer one but there really isn't any reason.
