Hi All - When I bought my NH273 baler it only had 3 feeder fingers in the chamber. I moved them around and adjusted things to get good "non-banana" bales and all is well.
This year I bought 6 new fingers to install. There are two long ones, two short ones, and then a pair of curved with one being long and one being shorter. I ordered them from bestbalerparts.us and used a parts diagram at Messicks to make sure i was ordering the right parts.
Problem is the fingers I got aren't labeled and I don't know for sure which ones are which part numbers, and I don't know which feeder location the different fingers belong in.
Can anyone with a NH273 or knowledge of one explain which forks go in which slot, and which way the curved forks face (towards chamber or away from chamber) ?
From the manual, it's hard for me to tell for sure but it looks like short fingers go farthest from the chamber, curved fingers go closest to the chamber, and middle fingers go in the middle position. Looks like the longer curved finger goes in the "back" position and has the bend positioned to point "away" from the chamber. I'm probably looking at things incorrectly though.
Help is most appreciated.
