Small Square Baler Knotter

See how the knotter on a small square baler from New Holland works.

Where the hell was this video 40 years ago when I was frustrated out in the field trying to get the baler to tie a decent knot. Thanks for sharing an awesome, even today video.

GREAT video and description of billhook function. Thanks! I am 60 YO and been on the farm helping since I was less than 10 YO.

[@southwestwifarm3516]

I’ve fixed dozens of balers all because people didn’t know how to maintain or fix their knotter assembly. Simple if you know what you’re doing. This is the best video I’ve seen on knotters

[@davidsanders7712]

This is a fantastic video. I'm 72 years old and have been around balers since I was 9 years old. I never really understood how knotters work. This video has helped tremendously. Thanks

I often wonder why John Appleby ( The inventor of the twine knotter ) is not as famous as Harry Ferguson. He truly was a mechanical genius!

[@donvoll2580]

Good day from Ontario. Our service man learn from Ferguson, my bro who was about 7 trid to show a knot that service man used. left over & under & then take 2 straight cut ends pushing them in each other & pulling that exact over 1 st knot, smallest knot ever from Ferguson. Thanks

damn the team or dude who designed this magic deserve a noble prize

Great replication of a humans hand and fingers.

McCormick deering did on the first binder mid 1800 s

[@vmdairy]

Wow! I have used NH balers for 50 years this is the first time I've seen this process shown in detail.

[@davidquirk8097]

Many thanks for this video. My old boss on the farm used to tie to bits of string together one handed and it's taken me twenty years to realise that he was just emulating how the knotter in his Sperry baler worked. This means that he'd studied it and worked it out for himself, not a big surprise, he was an Engineer before he was a farmer, clever man.

[@chuckwin100]

Knotters are probably the most mysterious part of the baler and can be tricky to troubleshoot especially when the mechanism is not well understood. This video helped a lot to understand how they work.

[@TheDougroles]

Great video, helps solve the mystery of the baler, something that has puzzled me since I was a kid

[@videos995]

Many thanks for posting this, I now know how a knotter works, I have never been able to get my head around this before.

[@gregbusby2553]

I've downloaded to my phone so I have it with me in the field. Fantastic video. Thanks Bill Muth and New Holland.

[@bigbojohn4068]

Great video, have been using a very used New Holland baler for over 20 years and have been challenged by the knotter most of that time now I finally know how it works. Watching the video is much more enjoyable and enlightening than riding on the back of the baler. Thanks

[@nevincooper-keel3115]

I have a 1963 Allis Chalmers 300 series baler, and this was extremely helpful.

[@duanedickey1291]

Nobody better at NH service than Bill Muth!!

[@ih1206]

I’ve messed with my share of knotters but this is an awesome video. Even when you roll a baler over by hand, it moves too fast to catch all these movements with your eyes.

[@MegaBearslayer]

i have handled thousands of bales and now I know how the knotter works!!! thanks cool bit of engineering

[@mikefurlong8025]

It would be really useful to have an updated version of this using modern camera technology!

[@joeymacaulay]

Yes thank you. This takes my knowledge of the baler to new heights.

[@yamajammer76]

I always wondered how these things worked. Thanks for this great video!!!

[@lailaelmikkaoui5653]

Thé best baller New Holland BC 5000 number one 👍👍

[@robertplanck]

great tape i did not know much about the way the noters work because i very have a problem with my new holland baler

[@operatingengineer]

thanks for sharing! I just got a 270 so this will help.

[@double-h-farms]

Been working on these for yrs cause nobody knew how to fix them, or time them..

[@ianhiggins8728]

That is interesting it is reasonably simple after looking at this.

[@skeets6060]

I thought I understood these thing,, after watching this I know less now that I knew before

[@alanlancelot2885]

Newholland baler thé Best 👍👍

[@jimmybritt9537]

Sure is a lot going on in a short amount of time 😉👍👍🇺🇸

[@noneck3099]

I just wish people would rewind this tape for the next viewer....

[@josephjorgensen3282]

Nothing is more frustrating then a knotter that will make like a hundred good bails then drop or randomly chooses to drop I spent a whole summer tinkering trying to get things right

[@hiscifi2986]

Note that the Baler was using Sisal Twine, the newer Nylon Twine is more slippery and harder to knot.

[@errotabatbihiru5321]

muy bien explicado.me gustaría en español.pero muy buen video

[@miraclemann777]

nice video

[@nancycucesharp]

cool

[@chuckwin100]

I would have painted the needles a contrasting color for clarity.

[@mikeyjohnston9891]

Our 276 won't bale cut the strings to Early can some one tell me how to fix this

[@Sanae1765]

good

[@paulc8581]

One question my dad and I are haveing problems with our baler it makes the not but does not the the two together. Any ideas? Tnxs

[@williamchristopher1560]

What is the part # of the spring that hooks at the back of the knotters to a flap of metal, itself welded onto a rod going across the back of the knotters some 8in or so, and where does it hook to on the knotters Thanks

[@SyntheticGrease]

I unliked this video just so I could like it again.

ËShtë një orë mësimi për ne mekanizatorët

[@chrisswin8976]

Boy study that one

[@Farmer2492]

Hi i have a New Holland super 69 baler Hydraulic tensioner could you tell me why on the end of the bales one side is longer than the other

[@Farmer2492]

Thank you very much
