I have a JD 336 square hay baler I've had since 1981. It has always preformed very well. Lately, it has begun to start the tie sequence pre-maturely making very short bales. It will bale OK for five or six maybe ten, then start with the short one's for two or three. This is a puzzle to me. All the knotter system seems fine. For you experts, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM??

there are two brackets where the measuring wheel (star) attaches to the bale case. one on either side, they have bushings. these bushings may be worn. if not , these brackets also have elongated attaching holes to allow forward or rearward adjustment. try adjusting the measuring wheel rearward. by doing this it will change how the trip arm contacts the dog on the knotter drive gear. the area of contact should be 1/4 to 3/8 inch. after a certain amount of wear the trip arm may be contacting the dog just by a corner. ive also had the trip arm (L-shaped piece) break where it pivots. sorry if this is completely unclear, i could point at it better than explain it.

Steve,the trip arm is not dropping all the way down to the lenth adjuster stop or it's bouncing back up after dropping all the way to stop. JD added a spring on later models to help in bringing arm back to the stop after tying. Having larger(flywheel side) tire over-inflated will also make arm jump up in rough ground.As stated before check serrated part inside wheel that raises arm as this will cause it to make extra bales if worn.

If the hay isn't heavy enough then the bale measuring wheel can turn too fast or more l;ikely; take a look at the vee wheel the arm rides in.Wear could be causing the arm to drop prematurely.
Try to turn the vee wheel while holding the arm.If you can hold the arm and turn the wheel then replace the part that shows the most wear or both.

Can cheat a bit, rough the wheel that rides in the goove up a bit with a file. Doesn't last as long as a replacment.
