Hi,
I left my baler out overnight and it got rained on, soaking the bales that were in the chamber. When I went to bale a couple of days later, the first bale kicked out, but then the PTO shear bolt went. When I got looking, the needles are still in the bale chamber, and the safety kept the plunger from going all the way back and sheared the bolt. Now I'm stuck in mid-tie and I don't know what to do. How can I get the knotters to finish their rotation and allow the needles to drop out of the chamber?
Just so you know, I removed all of the hay from the baler, so I know there's no hay blocking or preventing any parts from moving.
Thanks
