[@timbroome3520]

Try the Alberto knot. Can trim the tag ends as short as you want. Feeds through ever time.

[@davidtaylor317]

Square or reef or any other you want. To each their own!

[@RolandMitchell]

the knot is a reef Knot Hold the Two strands of Twine and simply Take the Left hand twine and Place the Left Hand twine over the top of the Right one and Go Under the twine and then put the Right Hand Twine under the Left Hand Twine and there you have a Reef Knot where the Knot slips in and out

[@robertmccallum8626]

Here in Australia its called a reef knot, its not designed to stay tight, you may want to rethink the type of knot to use, as if you pull just one end the other loop will just slide right of, thats it purpose never to get tight so you can undo it. Good old boy scouts, knots badge.

what is the prices for paler twine in Asutralis???

[@rossk4864]

This is a square knot, nothing more, nothing less, which everyone should have been taught as a child. To tie bailing twine together, or two ropes for any purpose, I was taught to never use a simple square knot but to use a modified square knot that has an additional loop top and bottom. This makes the knot longer, less likely to get caught up in a bailer, and less prone to breakage at the knot because it distributes tension across two loops instead of a single loop. I am knot sure it makes a difference however. But this is just my two cents and I applaud the video.

I had a long time farmer who made a lot of hay tell me that a surgeon's knot works the best and won't pull apart like a square knot. Basically a simple overhand knot on top of a double overhand, or just double the first part and tie a single on top and tighten and trim. It does work and will go through the needles on a conventional baler with no issue. I started using it and didn't miss a knot on the change-over from one ball to the next.

The knot is I square knot, if you wanted to know the name of it.

[@blakehayes9035]

Mike Colbert can also be called a reef knot😌

[@buford737]

Try spitting on that knot before you tighten it up all the way. Tends to reduce the size of the knot ball.

[@stuiys]

Thats called a Reef knot.

[@ibpathomson]

That's correct, that's what my father called it 50 years ago.

[@jessaryenterprises]

[@peterjames2004]

reef not

[@tractorfixrable]

No !!!!! That knot can and will break a needle.

[@jessaryenterprises]

Only if you are dumb. Must have other problems there bud!

[@tractorfixrable]

@@jessaryenterprises well after working on balers for 30 years I’ve see it twice where a big knot got stuck in the eye of the needle and broke it. I guess I’m dumb in offering my experience to this group. Thanks for the insult sir.

[@jessaryenterprises]

@@tractorfixrable pretty rare to happen don’t you think? Yes I think so. We been working on them about the same number of years. Thanks
