New Holland 565, 570, 575, 580 Common Problems This Manual Covers
New Holland 565 pickup drive belt snaps without warning during normal baling operation p. 175
Check the idler spring eyebolt length on page 175; it should measure 284 mm (11-3/16″) when properly tensioned. Overtightening beyond spec strains the belt until it fails. Loosen the tensioner, remeasure, and torque the pickup drive belt fastener to 265 N·m (2350 in. lbs). Inspect pulley sheaves for paint or rust buildup causing slippage before reinstalling.
Manual Section: Product FeedingFeed pan fails to retract quickly enough at high-speed bale production, pan lags behind cycle p. 148
Inspect the feed pan linkage pivot points for wear and binding; replace any elongated pin holes. Check hydraulic system pressure at the tension cylinder, which should not exceed 1100 psi maximum per page 148 specs. Low flow to the pickup lift cylinder circuit causes sluggish pan retraction. Bleed air from the lines and verify pump output before returning to service.
Manual Section: Hydraulic SystemKnotter timing drifts out of sync after a few hundred bales, knots missing entirely
Check the knotter timing chart. Verify the billhook cam spring length measures 17 mm (11/16″) per page 264; a stretched spring lets the cam drift under load. Confirm knife arm scraper clearance to the billhook sits between 10 and 13 mm (3/8 to 1/2 inch) on page 266, then reshim and retorque the shaft.
Manual Section: Knotter General MalfunctionsBow knots form instead of tight knots, twine slips off the billhook during tying
Reference the knot formation section. Measure the twine holder spring gap; it must hold at 3 mm (1/8″) per page 272. Check twine tension plate spring force too, it should read 0.9 to 1.8 kg (2 to 4 lbs) on page 280. Weak tension lets twine slip before the knot sets; replace worn springs and retest.
Manual Section: Knotter Knot Formation IssuesNeedle breaks off during the tie cycle, shear bolt snaps every few hundred bales
Check the needle malfunction section. Verify needle timing relative to the plunger falls within 6 to 19 mm (1/4 to 3/4 inch) per page 274; needles hitting the plunger out of time shear the bolt repeatedly. Inspect the needle yoke pivot pin for wear, replace bent yokes, and confirm the latch engages before running twine again.
Manual Section: Knotter Needle MalfunctionsFrequently Asked Questions
How to reset the knotter on a New Holland 565 square baler?
To reset the knotter, check and adjust its timing. Turn the flywheel by hand until the plunger crank arm is vertical and between the two marks on the bale case. Ensure the knotter pawl is tight against the stop, and the timing marks align within 6 mm (1/4″). If needed, reposition the front drive chain to adjust the timing.
What are the torque specs for the drive line on a New Holland 570 square baler?
For the Model 570, the PTO slip clutch should be adjusted to slip at 814 N⋅m (7200 in. lbs). The center bolt for the rear universal joint and overrunning clutch should be torqued to 61 - 68 N⋅m (45 - 50 ft lbs). When installing the mounting plate on the flywheel, tighten the cap screws to 95 N⋅m (70 ft lbs).
How to reset the plunger on New Holland 570
To adjust the plunger, ensure the clearance between the plunger and the top of the bale case is 4 mm (5/32″) at the tightest place, specifically between the rear of the feed opening and the rear of the plunger stroke. If the clearance is too great, add shims under both lower rails to adjust.
What are the replacement specifications for Knotter timing cam?
The manual specifies two cam gears: #645745 for Models 565 and 570, which has a 5/16″ keyway, and #9616322 for Models 575 and 580 (above serial number 923151/917279), which has a 1/4″ keyway. The #9616322 cam gear has a wider knife arm roller ramp.
