Square baler knotter slo-mo

You have absolutely no idea how much I appreciate this video, I have wondered how those knotters work since I was a kid.

[@denniscarter483]

Me too. When I was a kid I got tie some of the nails when the knoters would mess up.

The thing that’s really interesting to me anyway, is when this was first invented it was done with a pencil on paper. No CAD no computer just an 8-5 guy with a peace of paper and a pencil. Engineer plans drawn, molds made, cast and machined with no computers. Today? Can’t make change.

[@arthurdewith7608]

Omputers have to be given instructions on how to make this slip knot and the mechanical pieces are drawn out on cad by a human using mathematics geometry now what is ur point again?

[@86lowrider]

@@arthurdewith7608there where no computers when this was made none!! That’s my point! No cad, no computer, just paper. If you don’t understand or you think that cad capable computers have been around a 100 years you’ll never get the point. 🤷‍♂️

I hated working on the knotters, but was very satisfying when you got all that hay in each year. My advice, burn the bailer down each year and get a new one.

[@cast_iron_fist]

That's about 40 years old solution. Imagine how clever was the person who invented it. 👌

More like 140 years.

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

These knotters still amaze me. Could watch it continually ,hard to even comprehend the engeneering and thinking that have gone into the design of this mechanical wonderment at the time it was developed, and it is still in use with only a few minor improvements. Great video. Thank you for sharing it. Should help a lot of people understand the operation so adjustments or repairs to there equipment can be made.

This video saved my hay crop today! I took a similar video of my JD468 non-knotting and found that the wiper was not pulling the knot from the billhook thing. I moved the wiper tighter against the back of the billhook and all is well. Thanks for posting this as this part of the mechanism is really hard to see.

[@brian_2040]

Most of the time, it's always the wiper not doing its job perfectly. Ol mechanic once told me, grease the machine first, if that doesn't fix it, then make sure everything else is right.

[@ajgurney5811]

Called a knife arm that wipes the billhook

[@motorcyclemichael2182]

[@craighall6468]

Ah yes I'm 16 and still have that problem

[@sonsofliberty3081]

The didn't tie them. They mowed the field with a horse pulling a sickle mower. After it sat a bit to dry, you go over it with a rake, again pulled by the horse. The rake turns it over to dry evenly. Then you go over it with a wind row. It takes say a 12ft wide row, pulls all the hay into the middle so now it's a 30" row. After you have your rows made, you go by with a wagon and "the kids" fork it onto the wagon while it is loose. Get it back to the barn, and you have a pulley overhead outside the front door that you lift up the hay, and run it on a track to the back of the hay loft and fill it up. Usually you'll have a trap door in the floor so when you need to use it, you drop it down to the 1st level.

[@Jan_372]

Well, the guy who invented it apparently saw his dog make a knot into a rope where its got caught in. He combined that shape with the way a sewing machine works.

[@ralph5450]

I got one that's so old this is actual speed.😬

[@jonathansullivan3089]

I have wanted to see that for 40 years, I use to follow the bailer as a kid to keep bales from rolling down the hill before I was big enough to bale, I watched with amazement, it happens faster than a blink of an eye. Thanks for posting.

Claas did not come up with the twine knotter, it was an American, James Appleby, who conceived it more than 100 years ago !

[@hammaswingah1693]

Brings back a lot of memories tying crappy incomplete knots on dad's JD T14. It usually took tripping it a couple dozen times till the sisal twine polished the bill hooks enough so that it worked right. After that it was generally OK.

I wish that I could of had this video about 1990. 30 years ago! I was working on a New Holland 285? baler that someone put together wrong! I had to fix it. Most everyone had round bakers then, with a lot of calls to dad, neither one of us had a bag phone yet. I got the knotter fixed, all 3 places back in time, making wheat straw bales perfectly. All done with out a manual, would have been a lot simpler and easier with a manual, or now an iPhone to look up information on. Hello from north east Montana!

[@cmulli5637]

One of the only inventions to have not been re done. The all original deereing knotter still used on all new balers.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

It wasn't invented by John Deere or International Harvester, it was a chap called James Appleby, and to the best of my knowledge, Binders apart, New Holland were amongst the first to use this on their earliest balers. Prior to that, at least some balers had a person sit each side of the bale chamber to tie off the knots.

I believe there is a clutch that the knotter trips that disengages the plunger while the knotter is engaged.

@Sour Brothers At full speed, the knot is tied in the time between strokes of the baler, which can be approx 80 strokes a minute for a small baler, and approx 48 for a large baler so the knot is tied in less than 1.3 seconds at full speed. Literally too fast to observe. I've tried when I've been trying to fix my baler........
