I have the manual but I haven't cracked it yet because we haven't had time. My 16 year old son was running the baler yesterday and called to tell me that it had broke 6 bales in the last 120. A couple days
ago it broke it's first bale of the year after making over a 1000 bales without a miss so the issue is getting progressively worse. We clean the knotters at day end every time. It appears to be failing to
cut the twine and leaving a 4' trailing string on a bale (with a knot on one end of the string). What is the starting point? I plan on cleaning the machine out tonight, going though the manual as we have
several days of rain predicted.
He had an eventful day baling - also managed to break the "Rice Tooth" that the previous owner had welded (knew I should have replaced it) and fed it through the plunger - the plunger snapped it in two without
breaking a shear bolt, I am sure I have a nice dent in the blade to file out. Messick has them for $169 + frieght - is there a cheaper place to get them?
