I don’t believe that’s how it works on a variable chamber Baler. I’ve got a Fortima V180 And it’s been my experience that the setting for the size of the bale is just an alarm and netting sequence marker. pressure is set manually by getting off the tractor and adjusting the hydraulic pressure valve. I guess it’s possible that the Comprima model works differently.
Correct the density is done hydraulically, but a V150 makes a 150cm bale or 4.9ft. This is were people run the baler in manual mode trying to get a true 5ft bale. Doing this can damage the belts or chains if its a Fortima because there is no were for the crop to go. Yes there is a failsafe that is supposed to open the tailgate but its no perfect.
I also have a question that maybe you could answer. I just purchased an additional Baler, Comprima CV 150 XC. It is a 2014 model year, is there any real difference between the same Baler in 2019 or even newer? I noticed they have different side panels and a larger chain oiler reservoir.
@@guernseygoodness Hi as you noticed there are a few differences like you seen with the doors, larger oiler, crop compression roller brackets. The biggest change is the electronics, a 2014 should have a gray controller were as the 2019 a metallic looking one. This was just a update to meet the ISOBUS standards better, not for failure or performance reasons. The 2019 you should be able to directly plug the Baler into a isobus plug if you have a isobus tractor, we’re as the 2014 you would need a Y cable adapter from the dealer to do that. 2014 probably has a CCi200 monitor we’re the 2019 could be CCI800 or 1200. Also you might notice that there are some small icon changes on the screen but the software functionality is the same.
