Installation of Star Wheels
AGCO Balers - Non-UHD Models
The star wheels are to be mounted on top of the baler, just
behind the knotters and under the walkway on both sides. The
notch and holes for the star wheel are precut. If the star
wheels are cutting the twine the sensors and notch must be
moved out an additional 1/2" (13mm).
Place the spacer plate (001-6707E) over the precut holes.
Attach with 5/16”x 1/2” Allen head bolts and internal star
washers from inside the bale chamber. Center the star wheels
over the top of the spacer plate, place the twine diverters on
top of the star wheel and attach with 5/16 x 2-1/4”hex bolt
and lock washers.
Remaining two holes per star wheel attach with 5/16”x 2 1/4”
hex bolt, lock washer, and one 5/16” thick flat washers per
bolt. Verify that star wheels align with bale chamber before tightening down all hardware. The twine guard
containing the bale rate sensors will be placed on the right side of the baler.
AGCO Balers - UHD Models
The star wheels are to be mounted on top of the baler, just
behind the knotters and under the walkway on both sides. The
holes for the star wheel are precut. Remove the plate on top
of the catwalk covering the triangle shaped access cutout.
Place star wheel over the predrilled holes on both sides of the
bale chamber, (right).
Secure the star wheels with 5/16”x 3-1/4” BHCS (x2 each
side) from the bottom side and are secured with 5/16” lock
washer and nuts. Blocks are dropped down on the bolts and
secured in place with the star wheel twine guards (001-
4645H, 001-4644H). The twine guard containing the bale rate
sensors will be placed on the right side of the baler.

5
Installation of Star Wheels (continued)
Claas Balers
Use the picture below as a guide for drilling the mounting holes
for the star wheels. The star wheels are to be mounted on the
side of the bale chamber, between the top and middle channel.
Measure 10” back from the hinge between the top and middle
channel. Cut 1” x 9” (25mm x 23cm) slot for the star wheel.
Make sure the wheel is square.
Mark the location of the two 5/16” (8mm) holes for the star
wheel base. After drilling the holes, insert the 5/16” x 3 1/4”
allen head bolts through the chute and use nuts to hold the
bolts in place. Place the star wheel block over the nuts and
install the prox sensor holder (001-4644H) on the star wheel
located on the right side of the baler. Note: Thicker side of
block goes to baler side.
CNH BB & LB Balers
Use the pictures above a guide to mounting the star wheels. Locate the two star wheel moisture sensors (030-
4641) and twine diverters (001-4644 & 001-4645). Directly behind the knotters, locate the four predrilled holes
per side shown at the arrows. This location is also beneath the lift points on top of the baler.
Install the eight (four per side) 5/16” x 3” Allen head cap screws. Make sure the
Allen heads are in the bale chamber. Secure using eight 5/16” hex nuts (right).
Install the star wheels below the lift points on the baler. Install the twine diverters
over the star wheel sensor. The twine diverter with two extra sensors will be
installed on the right star wheel.
Secure the star wheels and twine diverters with four 5/16” hex nuts, lock washers,
and two flat washers.

Installation of Star Wheels (continued)
John Deere L330-L341 Balers
Remove any material from the bale chute. The star wheels are to
be mounted on the transition bracket on both sides of the bale
chute located after knotters shown above. Holes have been
installed at the factory, however you need to remove bracket and
cut 3/4” (19mm) off the bracket as indicated below to allow proper
spacing for star wheel assembly.
Once complete, touch up with spray paint to prevent rusting and
place the carriage bolts that mount the transition bracket back in
original bracket mounting holes (A) before mounting star wheel
assembly (C). Insert the 5/16” x 3 1/4” Allen head bolts up
through the transition bracket and use nuts to hold the bolts in
place (B). Place the star wheel block over the nuts. Place twine
guard on top of star wheel (D), the guard containing bale rate
sensors will be placed on the right side.
Note: Thicker part of star wheel block should be on baler side.

Installation of Star Wheels (continued)
Balers Not Listed
The star wheels are mounted under the walkway on top of the
baler behind the knotters. Remove the bale from the chute
and tip the walkway up. Locate the star wheel template on the
outside corner angles of the bale chute on the left and right
side of the baler.
The center of the wheel shaft will be approximately 5-1/2”
(13cm) in front of the walkway support or about halfway
between the walkway support and the cross frame almost
directly in front of it. The notch will start just in front of the
walkway support.
Two parts of the baler frame will have to be trimmed off on
both sides to mount each star wheel. The first is the outside
corner angles of the chute. Use the template to mark the location of the star wheel notch as well as the location
of the four holes for the star wheel base. The notch will be 5/8” by 9” (16mm x 23cm) long and will help keep
the wheel away from the twine. Spray the ground off areas with touch up paint to prevent rusting.
The second portion of the baler to trim off is the end of the gusset that may interfere with the star wheel’s
plastic base support. Center the star wheel in the slots that was just notched and check for interference with
the gusset.
Drill 5/16” (8mm) holes for the star wheel block. Insert the 5/16” x 3” bolts up through the chute and use nuts to
hold the bolts in place. Place the star wheel block over the nuts and install the twine guards using the two inner
holes of the star wheel block. The twine guard containing the bale rate sensors will be placed on the right side
of the baler.
Alternative Star Wheel Mounting Location
If steam is being added to the bales
prior to the crop entering the chamber,
positioning the star wheels at the rear
of the bale chamber will allow the star
wheels to accurately read the moisture.
Two parts of the baler frame will have to be
trimmed off on both sides to mount each
star wheel. The first is the outside corner angles of the chute. Use the template to mark the location of the star
wheel notch as well as the location of the four holes for the star wheel base. The notch will be 5/8” by 9”
(16mm x 23cm) long and will help keep the wheel away from the twine. Spray the ground off areas with touch
up paint to prevent rusting.
The second portion of the baler to trim off is the end of the gusset that may interfere with the star wheel’s
plastic base support. Center the star wheel in the slots that was just notched and check for interference with
the gusset.
Drill 5/16” (8mm) holes for the star wheel block. Insert the 5/16” x 3” bolts up through the chute and use nuts to
hold the bolts in place. Place the star wheel block over the nuts and install the twine guards using the two inner
holes of the star wheel block. The twine guard containing the bale rate sensors will be placed on the right side
of the baler.

Control Box Installation
Locate a safe location in the cab of the tractor to place the
control box (006-2473SB). Recommended location is as close
to the tablet or phone being used to control the system.
Connect the Power Harness (006-2470P) and the Baler
Power Communication Harness (006-2470LS).
The control box (006-2473SB) is equipped with a green light
to indicated both power and connection.
Plug the tablet/phone cord into the
communication port (closest to light)
and indicated by:
Slow Blink –System has power but not connected to phone or tablet.
Solid Green –Device is connected.
**It is recommended for proper communication that the original phone/tablet power cable is used. Many lower
cost power cables do not meet requirements to properly charge and communicate to the Harvest Tec H2O
module.
End of Bale Sensor Installation –200FCA (Optional)
The end of bale sensor is used to determine when the baler needle arm moves. With this information the
system is able to show the average moisture of the previous bale. Part number for kit is 200FCA.
Mount the 006-7400 sensor to the mounting bracket 001-4648RB as shown below. Mount the assembly on the
right side of the baler chamber. The face of the sensor needs to be parallel to the arm attached to the needles.
*Note: The bracket may need to be slightly bent for the proper positioning.
Mark and drill two 3/8” (10mm) holes. Install the sensor using two 5/16” x 1“ allen head bolts, locks, and nuts.
The end of the sensor needs to be no greater than 1/4” (7mm) away from the needle arm. Tighten nuts on
sensor after adjustment.
The harness will need to be routed toward the harness at the tongue of the baler. Secure with cable ties and
take care to avoid pinch points. The harness extension (006-7400EXT) may need to be used.

Dye Marker Installation –200DM (Optional)
Locate the dye marking kit tank and pump assembly (005-9015). Identify a
suitable mounting location for the tank away from moving parts and hydraulic
lines on the baler. Be sure to mount the tank within 10’ of the connection on the
Baler Pwr/Comm Harness (006-2470SS), wiring details in the wiring diagram.
Note: The mounting location will potentially be different for the tank on each
baler model. Due to various baler designs and modifications, Harvest Tec does
not offer a specific mounting location for each baler model.
Once a mounting location has been identified, mount the tank vertically as
shown (right) with the tank lid on the top using the included hardware.
Next locate the dye marking spray assemblies shown (below).
*Small square and Large square balers must us the brass tip (004-TX-5)
Nozzle straps should be placed directly below the star wheels so spray will be applied on the side of the bale.
Mount the second tip assembly on the left side of the baler in a similar position (below).
Alternative Dye Marking Nozzle Mounting Location
When using the alternative star wheel mounting location at the end
of the bale chamber, the dye marking nozzles can be located at the
rear of the bale chamber as shown (left).
Routing the Hose
Using the supplied 1/4” hose (002-9006) connect to the pump and
secure with the hose clamps (003-9002). Route the hose to each tip
assembly by using the 1/4" barbed tee (003-T1414) to go to each
side of the baler. Be sure to avoid moving parts.

Our obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing free of charge to the original purchaser
any part that in our judgment shows evidence of defective or improper workmanship, provided the part is
returned to Harvest Tec, Inc. within 30 days of the failure. If it is determined that a non-Harvest Tec branded

Harvest Tec reserves the right to deny the warranty request at their discretion. Parts must be returned through
the selling dealer and distributor, transportation charges prepaid.
This warranty shall not be interpreted to render Harvest Tec, Inc. liable for injury or damages of any kind,
direct, consequential, or contingent, to persons or property. Furthermore, this warranty does not extend to loss
of crop, losses caused by delays or any expense prospective profits or for any other reason. Harvest Tec, Inc.
shall not be liable for any recovery greater in amount than the cost or repair of defects in workmanship.
There are no warranties, either expressed or implied, of merchantability or fitness for particular purpose
intended or fitness for any other reason.
This warranty cannot guarantee that existing conditions beyond the control of Harvest Tec, Inc. will not affect
our ability to obtain materials or manufacture necessary replacement parts.

time without any contingent obligation to purchasers of machines and parts previously sold.
