Square baler safety question

[Dave5264]

Hi, me again, I have a safety question re operation of my NH 310 Baler.

I understand and will always follow the rule around disengaement of the pto etc before going anywhere near my baler (or bine for that matter).

My question is, is there anything on my Baler that is spring loaded and even if not being driven by the pto, it could be triggered thereby causing injury (or worse). I dont want to be back in the shed or field (pto disengaged) clearing the hay from the baler, only to trigger some realease that launches a knife or something and lops off one of my limbs.

thanks

I can,t say what the NH has but doubt there is a problem,the last square baler I used was a deere and as long as the shaft is not rotating no problem.Not to say you still could,nt get a nick or scrape from a tine or sharp edge some where but I don,t think there is too much to fear in a stopped baler.Dave
