I have a jd 24t that I used for the first time last year. It works well but occasionally misses a tie, like 1 miss every 40-60 bales. What is the most common reason for this. I'd like to get the baler runnin sharp for this years hay season. Should I sharpen the cutterknives? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The most common reason I have found on the JD balers is the tucker fingers either filled up with chaff,out of adjustment, or return spring broke. But that is just a start you know there is to many things to look at to try and list them. Best thing is have someone knowledgable to look at it for you.If you are anywhere near Bedford PA I will gladly fix it for you.

I bought a 24T last year baled 100 bales no misses, next 3 bales it missed on one side, looked it over found 1 needle was threaded incorrectly ( the twine was over the slide in the end of the needle instead of under it ). I had a 14T for 30 yrs so I was familiar with the design, some times the problem is quite simple, but just take your time,as said don't adjust more then one thing at a time !!! Anyone use 9000 sissal twine in a 24T?

The first time we used our 224T it was missing at around that same rate. The more it was used the better it got. Keeping it clean and lubed is important. Get the manual and play with it if you want but I would not be in too big a hurry to start making adjustments. One in 60 is not the end of the world if you are baling small quantities.

Check your twine tension. or you might just bave to adjust some things on the knotter. the best thing to do is to get a manual for it. The manuel for the 24T baler shows you different types of nots that are messed up so that you can match the ties. Then it gives you solutions. Mine started like that last year and got as bad as mising a tie every 10 bales. i just adjusted the bill hook on it by about 1/4 turn of the nut and it bales about 800 bales only busting 2 after that. Good luck. took me awhile to fiqure mine out.

Only adjust one thing at a time by a small amount, like one flat (1/6) of a turn so you can put it back if it doesn't help. One thing I thought of recently is if you have access to a good video camera tape it and replay in slow motion.
