New Holland 276 Baler knotter problems. Part 2

Ok so the guy got the correct twine for the NH276 today. I put it in and he started raking the hay. Problem then was he was raking super big windrows so that in turn cause knotter problem due to to much hay to fast and stalling the Ford 4600 tractor I was using which in turn cause other problems. Had to explain it to him 2 or 3 times to finally get him to do a one row windrow instead if 3 or 4. Once I got him lined out it did 61 bales just fine

A 276 can eat quite a bit of hay. He must have been raking up some monster windrow.
 
Glad you got it worked out. Maybe your tractor could use a slower gear to use baling. Been some times when I would have to just creep along due to oversize windrow/hay a little tough.
 
Not my tractor it is his and I have not run it enough to know what gear is what and no decal any more saying where what gear is and to make it worse he has no clue to what gear is what either and he has had it at least 5 years or more. I do most of his repair work to most of his stuff but seems he never learns what is what with his equipment and I only mess wit his stuff when he has problems
 
He was using my 4 wheel 3 point rake and had 3 or 4 windrows so yes super big windrows to the point it filled the pick up side to side and coming up and over the pick hold down bar
 
Old, I had a old new Holland hay liner that would not tie. I found that if I kept RPMs down and put as much hay in as it could take in It would tie great. as soon as you would run at 540 RPMs it would miss more than it would tie.
 
I remember when we used the first pick-up baler around in 1946, (a New Holland 76) some folk who were used to raking with a dump rake did MONSTER rows to fill up a sweep quickly and we had to have a guy walking along in front of the pick-up and fork the hay from the rows around 12/15 feet wide on to the pick-up while the tractor driver inched the tractor along - good old hand clutch on the Case DC. The bales came out pushing each other into heaps.
