FEATURES
Implement Tongue
The adjustable hitch on the Bale King is a cast single tongue with optional clevis insert
(BMI #25540). This allows for use with tractors equipped with a hammer strap or with a
single drawbar. The design of the tongue allows the machine to move over rough terrain
without bending the draw pin. NOTE: The hammer strap insert is to be used for
transport ONLY.
ATTENTION: Set the drawbar to 16 inches behind the PTO shaft to ensure no stress is
placed on the hydraulic hoses. Adjust the hitch height such that the machine sits level
when attached to the tractor.
Axles
The Bale King BRX850 is equipped with two tire rocking tandem axle with 14L-16.1 SL
and an option to oversize the tires to 16.5L-16.1 (BMI #34541).
Lifting Arm
The lifting arm on the BRX850 can
handle up to 6.5 ft round bales. The
arm can be adjusted to accommodate
smaller bales by loosening lock nuts
for the upper bolts, on the back of the
fork tine, and back off the bolts.
Loosen off the lower bolts, on the
back of the fork tine. Move the fork
tine to the desired position, and retightening the bolts and nuts. The quarter-turn arm
allows for loading from any direction, rotating the bale to the correct orientation for
loading. The Arm is equipped with a spring-loaded float to allow the arm to ride over
rough terrain without causing damage to the machine.

4 Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Bale Deck
The bale deck is designed to carry up to eight
62”long round bales. A pusher sled is used
move bales back on the deck allowing more
bales to be loaded. The machine is equipped
with hydraulic stops to prevent damage to
machine at the end of the pusher’s range of
motion.
When the machine is fully loaded a red indicator
flag will pop out on the inside of the right deck
rail.
Adjustable Roll Over Stop
The Roll Over Stop can be adjusted
to stop smaller bales sooner. Remove
the top Bent Pull Pins and rotate the
Roll Over Stop to the desired position
and reinstall the Bent Pull Pins.

OPERATION
Hooking up Machine
•Connect machine to tractor drawbar.
•Shut off the tractor.
•Connect hydraulic hoses and light plug to tractor.
•Retract jack fully, Remove the jack from the A Frame and secure it on the jack
stub on the Bed Rail.
•Attach safety chain to the tractor. Always ensure the safety chain is properly
installed. There should be enough slack to allow for turning, but not so much that
the chain drags on the ground.
•Visually inspect machine to ensure everything is in proper working condition.
•Start tractor and test lifting arm, deck tilt, and pusher movement.
Loading Bales
•Drive along left side of bale.
•Lifting arm will rotate bale to correct orientation.
•Drive until bale is against back of lifting arm
frame.
•Lift arm until bale rolls onto deck.
•Operate pusher to move the bale back far
enough to clear the lifting arm.
•Load bales until the full load indicator is tripped
and the red indicator is visible inside the right
bed rail
Unloading Bales
•Raise deck up.
•Using the pusher, unload the bales
•Lower deck once all bales are unloaded and
return pusher to the front of the machine.

6 Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Unhooking Machine
•Shut off the tractor.
•Disconnect hydraulic hoses, light plug, and safety chains from tractor.
•Move the jack back onto the A Frame and secure it. Extend until the machine is
resting on the jack.
•Disconnect machine from tractor drawbar.
There are three sets of hydraulic hoses to connect to the tractor, each with a marking to
distinguish which component it controls. The hoses should be connected to the tractor to
suit the operator's preference.
Large hose with yellow marker:
Pusher
Medium hose with red marker:
Lifting Arm
Medium hose with blue marker:
Deck Lift Cylinder
Note: Always set the tractor's hydraulic flow at a lower rate and adjust it upward until
the desired speed is reached.

Wheels and Tires
Examine tires for cuts, bruises, cracks, bulges, and penetrations.
Tire Inflation and Rating
Wheel bearings should annually be lubricated and inspected for any required adjustment.
Inspect more often for extensive traveling. Proper tire inflation will help to alleviate
puncture problems when towing and operating on rough terrain.
Standard Tires
Oversized Tires
Check for proper tire inflation

Check and tighten wheel bolts on a
regular basis
125 ft-lb
125 ft-lb
Note: When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to
allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.
Note: Warranty does not cover damaged rims and hubs due
to loose wheel bolts or flat tires. Tire warranty is covered by
the tire manufacturer.
Hub Removal
Procedure for maintenance and replacing hubs.
1. Elevate and support the walking axle.
2. Check for excessive wheel end play by pulling the tire assembly towards you
and by pushing the assembly away from you. Slight end play is acceptable.
3. Rotate tire slowly forwards and backwards. The wheel assembly should turn
freely and smoothly. If there is excessive wheel end play, restriction to rotation,
noise, or "bumpy" rotation, the bearing unit needs to be replaced.
4. Remove the wheel.
5. Remove the dust cap by carefully prying around the flange of the cap.

9 Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
6. Remove the cotter pin from the spindle nut.
7. Unscrew the spindle nut and remove the spindle washer.
8. Remove the hub from the spindle, being careful not to allow the outer bearing
cone to fall out. The inner bearing cone will be retained by the seal.
9. Clean all the part and make sure the bearing and the spindle will not get
contaminated.
Bearing and Seal Inspection
•If the bearing shows signs of pitting or corrosion then the
bearing must be replaced. The bearing cup inside the hub
must be inspected. Bearings should be replaced in sets.
•Repack all good bearings with grease.
•Whenever the hubs are removed, inspect the seal to ensure that it
is not nicked or torn and is still capable of properly sealing the
bearing cavity. If there is any question of condition, replace the
seal.
Hub Installation
If the hub has been removed or bearing adjustment is required, the following adjustment
procedure must be followed:
1. After placing the hub, bearings, washers, and spindle nut back on the axle
spindle in reverse order as detailed in the previous section on hub removal, rotate
the hub assembly slowly while tightening the spindle nut appropriately 50 lbs.-ft.
2. Then loosen the spindle nut to remove the torque. Do not rotate the hub.
3. Tighten the spindle nut until it is snug and install cotter pin.
4. Pack hub full of grease and install dust cap.
5. Install the wheels and fasten the bolts. Torque bolts to 125 ft-lbs

10 Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Sled Chain
•Lubricate chain every 50 hours of operation and
before long periods of storage. Always use quality
chain oil when lubricating the drive chain.
Check chain tension at center of deck by applying 30
lbs of force on the chain. Correct tension is measured as
1 inch deflection between chain and deck. Adjust chain
tension using the following steps:
1. Loosen the lock nut
2. Turn tension nut accordingly until
correct chain tension is acheived.
3. Tighten Lock nut.

11 Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
Cylinder Maintenance
To remove the hydraulic cylinders for repair or maintenance, follow these steps:
•Fully lower the deck (or lifting arm) and unhook hydraulic lines. Be sure there is
no pressure on the lines and mark the line locations so there is no confusion when
reinstalling the cylinders. Check hydraulic schematics.
•Remove locking bolts for cylinder pins and remove cylinder pins.
•To reinstall, reverse the removal procedure.
NOTE: Always cover exposed cylinder shafts with grease to avoid rusting of shafts if
the unit is not used for extended periods of time. Rusted cylinder shafts are NOT
covered by warranty
NOTE: Check all hoses and fittings periodically for leaks. Tighten or replace any
dripping components or any worn out hoses.

12 Bridgeview Manufacturing Inc.
TRANSPORTATION
The Bale King BRX850 can be safely towed on public roads, following these precautions:
•Tow vehicle must be rated for at least 6490 lb gross, 1930 lb tongue when
machine is empty, and 22500 lb gross, 5887 lb tongue when loaded.
•NEVER exceed 40 km/h (25 mph).
