My baler worked fine last year
greased and prepped for the field this year and the twine tie system trips but twine arms wont move
I topped of twine pump fluid
was using power steering fluid and the neighbor pointed out should be using hydraulic fluid per the manual
So day one
twine tie system trips but arms dont move
if I pull on manual trip they move a few inches and then right back
arms will complete a full cycle if I hold the manual trip while they cycle
All five springs are present and seem sturdy
I checked the fluid again and seemed a little low so I added fluid again system would trip at where I have my bale size set
pump stayed engaged and over heated
it boils so hot my plastic dipstick is bumpy from the plastic melting
Day two
replaced filter changed fluid to hydraulic and changed belt
made a bale still no luck
Did I burn up the pump
Could there be air in the system
Is there something not telling the arms to move
I had the neighbor bale it for me so no hay on the ground just have more fields to get after as soon as I fix this
Thanks in advanced so it said no special characters so I took out all the punctuation or it would not post
