Kit Eliminates Net Wrap Headaches

Kit Eliminates Net Wrap Headaches BALERS Scott Hintz resolved the net wrap malfunction on his new Case IH 564 model round baler His fix worked so well that he now makes and sells kits to other frustrated New Holland BR7000 and Case IH RB400 and 500 series baler owners What Hintz and others ran into is a tendency for the brake arm that stops and cuts the wrap to fail This usually happens toward the end of the roll of net wrap when it could still wrap another 15 to 20 bales When it goes out of adjustment the netting can get wrapped around the pto If the operator doesn’t stop quickly enough it can take out the seal and wreck the gearbox “The arm with the sensor wrap counts the number of rotations as the bale is wrapped ” explains Hintz “When the preset number is reached it’s supposed to engage the brake arm ” Hintz separates the shaft that connects the brake arm to the wrap sensor arm This allows the two arms to work independently of each other “My kit provides even tension on the arm and eliminates the problem ” says Hintz “Case New Holland CNH has had the problem since 2007 but has never changed anything to resolve it I’ve tried to talk to them about the solution They know what I’ve developed but they haven’t changed a thing “One Case IH dealer in my area has me install my kit in every baler he sells ” says Hintz “I know of several BR7000 owners who out of frustration switched to other brands because of the company’s failure to resolve the malfunction This is a $5 000 option that farmers and ranchers purchase and it doesn’t work consistently ” Hintz says his kit offers an economical fix to the problem and will greatly increase the performance of the baler He’s in the final stages of his patent approval and has sold around 70 kits Call Hintz for pricing and for detailed instructions about installation Contact: FARM SHOW Followup  Scott Hintz 221 3rd St Yale S Dak 57386 ph 605 599-2216; cell 605 354-3178; lhintz@santel net
