INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Bale King bale processor. With the proper operation and
service as outlined in this manual, the Bale King will provide you with years of trouble
free operation.
This is a complete safety, operation and parts manual for the Bale King 8200. The
manual covers in detail how to safely and effectively use your new processor. The
procedures outlined in this manual should be followed to ensure safe operation and
longevity of your machine. The parts manual covers all parts you may need to order in
case of accident or breakdown. Please read completely through this manual before
beginning operation of your new machine.
Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions MUST be followed to ensure safe operation of the
Bale King Bale processor.
•ALWAYS turn OFF the tractor when leaving the operating platform.
•DO NOT stand in front of the discharge chute while the machine is running.
•DO NOT walk or move under the bale forks or wing when in the upward
position, unless the cylinder safety locks are in place.
•DO NOT enter the machine while in operation.
•DO NOT clean machine while in operation.
•DO NOT stick any device into the machine to clear debris while the machine is
in operation.
•ALWAYS turn off the machine when cleaning the machine, removing twine, or
hooking/unhooking the machine
•ALWAYS use safety chain when towing the machine on the highway.
•DO NOT operate if any part of the PTO safety shielding is missing or is not
secured.

Safety Decals
Power Take-off
The operator must obey all safety labels and must maintain the proper shielding. A high
percentage of drive-line injuries occur when safety shielding is missing or not functioning
properly.
DANGER: Contact with a rotating drive-line can cause serious injury or death.

Rear Fork Lift Area
DANGER: Stand clear of lift area. Do not stand under the forks unless safety locks
are installed.
Deflector Safety Lock: Unlock for Operation, Lock for Transport and Storage.

FEATURES & OPERATION
Power Take-off
The Bale King bale processor has a PTO shaft which is splined on both ends. The
implement end uses a 1-3/4"-20 spline with wedge lock bolts. Install onto the gearbox and
tighten the wedge bolts. The bolts should be torqued to 160 ft-lb and re-torqued after 8 hrs of
use.
The tractor end comes standard with a 1-3/8"-21 spline quick detach constant velocity
joint. An optional 1-3/4"-20 spline yoke is available through your Bale King dealer.
The Bale King processor is designed to use a minimum of 100 HP. The drive shaft is
shear-bolt protected. The machine must be operated at 1000 PTO RPM.
NOTE: Spread yokes and twisted drive shafts are signs of OVERLOAD, not a manufacturer’s
defect and therefore not covered by warranty.
•DO NOT operate the machine using a spline adaptor. Use of adaptors will void
warranty due to damage caused to the tractor PTO, PTO driveshaft, or implement.
•DO NOT operate at 540 rpm, or use any kind of adaptor to connect to a 540 rpm spline.
•Always ensure that the PTO shaft is attached securely to the tractor. When the processor
is not hooked to the tractor, store the shaft on the PTO holder.
•DO NOT transport the processor without securing the PTO shaft. It may bounce off the
holder and be damaged.
•Always ensure that the drawbar is adjusted to 16” from the end of the tractor PTO shaft
to the center of the hole in the drawbar.
Operation
To engage the rotor for processing a bale, be sure the PTO shaft is properly connected to the
tractor. Engage the PTO at idle. After the PTO is fully engaged, increase PTO speed until it
reaches 1000 RPM.
The processor must not run at any speed less than 1000 PTO RPM as it may result in the
flails springing back against the rotor after they come in contact with the bale. This “backslap”

may cause flails to fatigue and excessive vibration which may cause the bearings to fail. Bales
may be dumped into the tub while the rotor is stopped or while it is running.
Shear Bolt
All new Bale King processors are equipped with a shear bolt clutch located at the implement
end of the PTO shaft. The correct size shear bolt is 3/8”x2” Gr.5. Any other size or grade will
damage the shear assembly. Spare shear bolts are shipped with each new machine and are
stored along the front top lip of the tub.
If your shear-bolt is shearing excessively you may be over-loading the machine. If this
occurs raise the grate assembly to make the machine less aggressive, or roll the bale more
slowly. Always ensure that your machine is running at 1000 PTO RPM.
NOTE: Please consult your local dealer to help pinpoint any problems.
PTO Holder
A PTO shaft holder is standard with your new
Bale King, for safe storage of the PTO shaft
when the processor is not in use.
When unhooking the PTO shaft from
the tractor, lift the free end of the PTO shaft up
and place it in the holder provided. This will
keep the shaft away from the hitch when
hooking the tractor to the machine and keep it
clear from snow and ice.
The hydraulic hoses may need to be adjusted to best fit your tractor, to avoid damage
from rubbing on the PTO shaft shield. This can be done by loosing the bolt on top of the plastic
hose clamp, then pushing or pulling on the hoses to adjust the length, and retightening the bolt.

PTO Use and Maintenance
Shut OFF the tractor engine and remove the key before doing any maintenance on the machine.
Use ONLY genuine Weasler parts when replacing any worn or damaged PTO components.
Length:
Confirm the minimum and maximum working lengths of the drive-
line. The telescoping tubes must overlap at least 1/3 of their length
when in use. The PTO is designed to be used with a drawbar length
of 16" from the end of the PTO shaft. Adjust your tractor
accordingly.
Shielding:
Be sure that the shielding is not damaged and rotates
freely on the drive shaft.
Working Angles:
Constant Velocity joints can operate up to 80 degrees for short
periods of time. Do not operate for long periods on sharp angles.
Attachment:
Be sure the drive-line is properly attached and all bolts and screws
are tight on the implement input shaft and on the tractor PTO shaft.
Storage:
When not in use, cover or protect the drive shaft from the weather. When removed from the
machine store both halves together to prevent damage. Check all components for proper
function and lubrication before use.
