Subject: 4755 hesston baler knotter problem


When the knotter misties the string has a single knot on the end of the string above the knotter. I rethread the string thru the slacker and under the knotter and it works for about ten bales. The needle and knotter settings seem within specs. What do I try first ?

New bill hook and twine holder are probably our most common problems. Make sure twine disk is set properly

Bend the tucker arm to the left about a quarter inch.

That would be the arm with the roller under the knotter that you route the twine through.

That’s the most common big square baler knotter miss problem I run into.


Edit to add: Two Hawk nailed it, the knot in the top string didn’t register when I wrote my reply.

Insert face palm here.

Southern Nevada desert		Knot on the top string only on the second knot usually means the lower string is hanging behind the twine finger when it retracts.
The most common cause by far is the twine finger bushing clogged with debris (or the bearing hanging if it has the ball bearing twine fingers) causing the twine finger to not slap all the way back. Pull the twine finger and make sure the bearing/bushing is COMPLETELY free.
If the lower slackers are sticky at all they will not pull the slack out of the twine when the needle retracts, this will leave enough slack that the twine will stay behind the twine finger. Pull enough slack that they can swing through the full arc and check for any drag.
Check all the twine finger adjustment, make sure it does not go beyond 90 degrees
Check for damage on the back of the twine finger that would cause the twine to catch.

Good advice guys. Not many real Knotter guys still in this world. Good to see there are a few left.

second both twine slacker arms and tensioner rollers (including ones on top knotters). both cause all sorts of issues.

Nailed it. Either it's a twine finger problem or a lower slacker/tensioner. Since it's only one head and intermittent, I'd check the slacker/tensioner first.
