1070 Question.

[peter sask]

Hi guys
I have a 76 1070 with 7000 hours.runs good most of the time.
It does seem to take awhile to run on all cylinders when it's cold start.
I had it on a 568 John Deere round baler making 5x5.5 bales.
The baler specs says it needs 75hp and 1070 is 108 pto.
My problem is my aera is rolling hills and when the bale gets over 2/3 full it feels like the tractor is running out of power.(Labour hard pulls rpm down)
Any ideas?
Changed fuel filters twice
New tank unit and drain vavle last spring
new lines when i got the tractor
Can it be time for injectors and pump?

My 1070 turns my ol NH 851 chain baler, makes a large bale, spins it with ease. I was having baler
problems for a while, where it would pull the tractor down, and bust pto shear pins or kill the tractor
if I was using a smaller one. The bale would be slowy built oval and as it got larger, approaching max
diameter couldn't spin in the baler......... just a thought

Have you checked the air filter? Another thought is how much blow by is coming
out of the breather tube?? I run a new holland BR7090 baler with about 1600psi
on the hydraulic tension. If I'm baling in soft meadow with a heavy swath my 1070
will not pull the baler in 3rd range 3rd powershift. Not enough power. I put the
2290 with duals on the baler, now I have the floatation to stay up in the low spots
and the extra power is just right for bailing.

More info,, is it smoking bad or not at all?

Just a question for those fellows that baled round , If you drive too fast while baling would that in effect create an oblong bale? Curious minds want to know. I have never run a round baler. CM

The only time I have ever had an oblong bale is if I hit a wet spot in the windrow. I used to bale behind 42 foot dump rakes. I still raked like I was stacking hay with a Farmhand. Windrows as big as I could barely get over, and I was baling at 8mph. Allis 7045 in front of a CIH 8465. Now I run a 1486 in front of a JD 566. Pull 2 windrows together. Some of them are HUGE, but I have enough power to over come my lazyness with the rakes.
When I was running the Allis, I had both it and the baler dueled up. Baling on sod covered swamps. Hated V rakes at that time, because it the rake tractor broke through the sod, the rake covered the tracks, and I would sink the baler, and of course I baled with the biggest tractor.

Oh the good old days

My New Holland chain baler was making oblong bales a year ago. Found out the belt that ran the chain was in poor condition. New belt cured it. Belt balers may have a different problem.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

Oblong round bales are operator error unless something is bent/broken on the baler,, a well shaped bale starts at the windrow I make a windrow that is 1-3" wider than the baler, to me weaving with a single windrow is irritating to say the least, as for travel speeds I run 6-8 mph myself, I know others who run 8-10 mph, travel speed has no affect on the shape of a round bale but does affect density of them. Making a well shaped bale is something I strive for and sadly I do judge others for also,, a few pics from my hay seasons

Does give a bit of black smoke when working that hard - nothing crazy

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

when she pulls down she should put out some smoke I was wondering if you have a fuel shutoff cable adjusted so it is holding the lever part way closed,, that will cause the condition you are having, seen it many times

No, not to fast. Pastures are to rough. Mostly 2nd range 2nd gear, an occasional upshift to 3rd, but not to often. These are grass pastures I rotate my cattle thru and take an early or late cutting depending on what's happening, are smaller 10-20 acre range. Such really good natives and warm seasons grasses, along with legumes like Birdsfoot that are difficult to establish I hate to tear them up. I usually no till into them various warm season mixes to keep them that way. So, they stay rough. Years ago I ran a disc, with the wheels down and the disc frame level with them and cut a lot of the gopher mounds down, which helped. Rough pastures make slow baling I guess is the point.

rough hay fields are the pits! I had to run cows on them a few years and mine was So rough,, I am gaining on them going over them with the SA disc and a pair of HD chain harrows but still a ways to go for sure,,

Due to the fact that you say that it sometimes takes a bit to hit on all cylinders when its cold I would guess that your injectors are
probably a good part of your problem, our old 1070 ran respectable but I knew it needed some help so i pulled the injectors out and had them
pop tested only one of them worked as it truly should the rest of them either shot streams or just barely dribbled fuel in, If your looking
for a winter project and have some time pull a couple of them out and have them tested.

 

[kevinthefixer]

If you're going to disable the tractor to pull and test one, might as well do all of 'em. The process of testing often will clean them up and fix them. While the injectors are out, run a compression test (requires a special tester for diesels), and have you adjusted your valves lately?
