Common Questions

1. How do I turn the system on/off?
   Turn the key in the tractor to the ON position. The ISOBUS Monitor will turn on, and the baler, on 600A1 working screen tabs, will be viewable. Turn the system off by turning the tractor key OFF.

2. How to get in the LBS/TON, MC%, and TONS/HR menus?
   In the Main Menu press the SETUP MODE key. From this screen you can change your alarm settings and bale rate settings. See SETUP INSTRUCTIONS in the Operations Manual for a detailed explanation of this process.

3. The moisture content displays “LO” or “HI” all the time.
   When the moisture content display does not change frequently while baling, there is likely a faulty star wheel connection. One of the first places to check is inside the white star wheel block. Check to see if the electronic swivel is in the star wheel shaft and check to see that the star wheel shaft is not working out of the block. Also, check all star wheel wires and connectors to see if there is a continuity or grounding problem.

4. Should the battery connections be removed before jump starting or charging a battery?
   Yes. Anytime the tractor will have voltage going up rapidly the connections should be removed.

5. Can the Harvest Tec 600A1 be updated for preservative or a tagger?
   Yes. A conversion kit must first be purchased.

6. Bale scale does not give a consistent reading.
   Baling on rough terrain or hills can cause the scale to give an inaccurate reading. Turn Bale Scale option OFF in the Bale Rate Screen and use AVG Bale Weight reading as weight of bale.
