Class or Seminar For Adjusting Knotters on a Square Baler??

[powerscol]

My advice is to take a nice dry warm day (or heated shop) and make sure there is no hay in the baler or chamber anywhere. Disconnect PTO shaft and turn machine over by hand withe the flywheel (in direction PTO shaft would turn it) Once you confirm the machine turns free, trip the knotter arm then turn the flywheel by hand a rotation at a time to see how the parts work in SLOWWWWW MOTION. You should be able to thread the machine and have it make knots.

I had to do this with a MF after fighting it missing knots on one side every few bales. Found the needle was out of line. Was VERY evident in slow motion.

However when you do this be sure you have tension on the twine (mimic a bale being there) I use bungee cords on each twine attached to the bale chute (pulling straight back like a bale would). As mentioned check the twine tension coming off the roll. You manual should tell you what it should be. I use a fish scale to set mine.
Hope this helps.
