“These are the times that try men's souls.” | Yes I agree with Rick, all work on the knotter really needs to be done on the baler. Yes you need the operators manual to set the knotter. If I recall they have a in depth set of pictures in of knott failures. You need to take a look at your knott failures, in fact take a pic of them on the bale as it comes out of baler. Then compare that to pics in operator's manual and start following their flow chart of fixes.
It's been over 35 years since I worked on those knotters, but first place I would look is the brass rollers on that knotter stack, they get a little flat spot on them and cause you all heck. But you need to start and adjust all aspects of your knotters from needles, twine discs, bill hooks, etc. Also timing is a big deal, make sure no slip in sprockets, drive chains. |
