How do I know when this baler is full and ready to be dumped. I c a little sensor/switch on the rear of baler but what actually pushes that. I made a few bales to test it out and they were super soft and made a mess. Please help if u can. Thanks.

I looked at number of 486 balers on tractorhouse and was surprised to not see a bale size indicator on the left front. My Vermeer rebel 5400 had a guage attached to the belt mechanism that showed bale size as bale grew. Perhaps you could look at other brands and figure out a way to make something similar? Otherwise if you bale until tractor starts working hard you have reached balers size capacity?
