West Central Iowa | I'm in Iowa and have an older 760. Burrows Enterprises is based in Colorado, and I have come to believe that the types of hay and arid environment there work well for their design. Long stemmed grass hay or nice dry alfalfa bales in a place with 10-15 inches of rain a year grind quickly and smoothly. Stacked bales that are wet from rain on a humid, sticky June day in the Midwest.......not so much.
A few things that help me.
- Don't place bales in the tub on end. It is too easy for the tub to peel off the outer layers of the bale leaving nothing to grab and spin the bale
- Wait until the previous bale is about 3/4 done before adding another. Perching a bale on the top of the tub hoping it pushes a stubborn bale down only seems to jam things up tighter.
- If a bale is not feeding down, take the point of your spear and do whatever you can to lift, drop, push, or bang the bale around in hopes of feeding better
The grinder can do a nice job, it just has some limitations.
