[@oldfarmer9004]

Nice work. I’ve watched eleven zillion bales tied. Never could figure out how that old baler could do that. Whoever came up with that idea had to make a bunch of mistakes before it was right!

Where does the twine finger return spring connect to? It looks like it attaches somewhere on the knotter in this video.

[@thewayidoit8895]

It typically connect to a hole on the twine finger activating arm to the frame of the knotter on the left side. There is not a real special connecting location for it at the upper end. Just the frame.

@@thewayidoit8895 Okay, thanks!

[@honeybeefarm6115]

What causes the short piece of twine (an inch or two long) that flings out of the discs about 1min 40 sec into the video?

[@emko0788]

This happens because the beak does not hold the tightly cut rope until the stripper removes it.The cause is a billhook, the beak must touch the body of the billhook with the oblique part and not with the tip of the beak when closed, but you have to make sure that the wheel on the other side of the beak do not touch the shaft of billhook.The wheel should be about 1mm away from the shaft when the beak is closed.

[@thewayidoit8895]

Simply put, the end of the twine is held in the twine disc until the knot is made. The short piece is the length from the twine disc to where the two ends are cut off of the knot as it is tied.

if set up correctly it should only vut the one ywine then you are not left with a pile of short cut pieces left behind in the field.@@thewayidoit8895 . @thewayidoit8895

⁠@@thewayidoit8895ok so this is normal? We also get these small pieces, but as far as i understand, its as is should be?

[@thewayidoit8895]

@@peploon yes! I've switched to a case/INTERNATIONAL 445 Baler. It makes a superior DOUBLE knot and NO TRASH. It has what they call a MCCORMICK type knotter. There's a lot of hate on them out there but so far-so good!

Your tucker fingers could definitely be closer to your needle!

[@emko0788]

My needles in this video did not coordinate well with the binders.

[@ruedaricardo]

@@emko0788 Timing issue perhaps?

[@emko0788]

@@ruedaricardo yes, the needles were faster compared to binders fraction of a second

An outdated horrible piece of crap not an awesome invention. Elon Musk needs to design a sealed unit that works every time it’s used just like the brakes on your car.

[@drummond1100]

I believe the knot is an awesome invention and ranks right up there equal to the pyramids and the wheel.. Fire is at the very top... When you can get a giant sewing machine setup on the back of a metal box that can hold a block of hay together you're doing pretty good. Okuma was a noodle company and Toyota started by making sewing machines btw. I see a sewing machine here and the bale is your cloth..

[@SPCLPONY]

​@@drummond1100 Add the fact that some of these baling machines are 60+ years old, and still making hundreds of hay bales a year for some farmers. Elon is good, but I think even he'd give these old machines a thumbs up!
