I sold mine to a neighbor a few years back and today I stopped and looked at it to make sure about the tine numbers I mentioned in an earlier reply. I did have 3 sets of the alum teeth. on the bar plus the steel rake tooth type on the very end. It made a decent bale like that. I bought the baler with my farm 40+ years ago and the first year I broke the hold down bar between the feeder teeth. Fought that as long as we used it. Thought for sure it had to be there. Neighbor is having trouble with it now. I told him that I had read here that it's better taken out. You gave a link to the post from the NH guy that told about it but I could never make it work. Would like to see it if you have time to recheck the link. Thanks Doug
