JD 530 roll baler ties bale before ready

John Deere 530 Baler worked as it should when baling hay, tying a bale when it got to #5-6. Only once in a great while would it start tying a bale at #4 without the flashing yellow light coming on. But when we started baling straw all it will do is make small #4 bales. Solid yellow light comes on when it ties - no flashing light. Changing the bale size knob has no affect. Any ideas?
 
The pump is not relatching. Maybe a spring is broken. If you keep baling the pump will overheat and fail as it is running all the time.
 

Are all 5 springs intact??? Sounds as if twine pump belt tension mechanism isn't re-latching when tailgate is closed. Check to be sure hook(parts key 45) is catching on bellcrank(parts key 4)

We had one do the same except you didn't kknow when it would tie. Don't remember which spring it is on Jims pic. We had a spring get oil and dirt on it so bad the spring would not retract all the way to get latch in position. We removed the spring and cleaned it and worked perfect after.
 
Many thanks to your quick responses. Yes the pump was not relatching. Made some adjustment to the twine trip rod following owners manual instructions. Baled for two days now without a bit of trouble.

Thanks again.
