Sounds to me like a few things possibly could be wrong. Dull twine knife, knife arm not close enough to wipe the knot off the billhook, also not enough twine tension at the twine box can cause all sorts of weird things to happen. The way the twine is tensioned, I don't think you could really get too much tension. My suggestion to everybody with a tying problem is to turn it over by hand and watch it. You can usually see what is the problem, especially if it's only on one side. [Reply]   [No Email]

If anyone has ever seen that TV show about extremely slow motion cameras you can almost visualize this, It would be great if those guys would do a clip on knotters,,they would sell like hot cakes...
