Declutcher

The slip clutch on the 2600 Series round balers performs double duty.  The clutch will slip when the baler drive system is overloaded or declutch when the baler is overfilled, plus it will hydraulically declutch when the tailgate is opened.

Declutching stops all the balers drives when the bale is ejected, and allows the bale forming belts to remain tensioned.  When the belts remain tensioned, they remain aligned and track correctly, reducing belt problems.  The main slip clutch gives overload protection and declutches when the tailgate is opened, lowering overall baler maintenance costs.
