Do you have walker risersIJIf not they may help,and position as many of them towards the back of the walker as you can.

I had a similar problem on a M2. Turned out it was the chopper knives were dull and rounded over. I turned them around to the unused side and have not plugged it anymore. Suggest you check the knives if you have not done so already.

Definitely check your chopper knives. I know what you mean about the bales. I did it in wheat straw. VERY Hot work.

Here is what I have done to help pull material in the chopper. On the leading edge of the rotating knife I put about 1_2 inch of hard powder with a powder torch. This will do two things. Keep the end from rounding off and create a minor hook on the knife. I did this for 10 years on my M and now on my R. Works in green lentils and chick peas as well as dry wheat. Keep stationary knives sharp.
