I use my JD 336 baler for wheat straw. Once in a while on the right side of the wire tie knotter there will one bale with no wire on that side but a long wire equal to two bales length will be tied to the next bale tied as it comes out of the bale chamber. The knot on the bale looks like a double knot of wire. I looked at my JD OM manual and it does not show anything like this issue. When looking at the gripper or arm ((AE10715) there is a vertical groove in it whereas the other side does not have one. The other day I baled 80 plus bales of hay for a neighbor and it did not do that. What could be causing this? I've checked the wire alignment guides on the underside of the chamber. It the gripper needing replaced? Or, is the wire holder need serviced? Is it a twister issue? If a picture is needed for clarity I will try to provide one. Any assistance is always appreciated.
