The dog keeps the ram from pushing a wad of hay into the needles and breaking them. I'm not sure of timing on the MF baler but all that I have timed I remove all hay from the chamber so I can see plainly what is happening. Then turn the baler over a couple times slowly by hand and when the ram is all the way to the fully extended position release the lever that sets the needles to tie. Turn slowly and when the needles start into the chamber they should be about 1 1/2 inches behind the front of the ram. That way all hay is ahead of the needles. Hope I explained it so you can understand it.
