My 273 hayliner when I Turn it over by hand and watch the needles the are 2-3" into the bale chamber when the plunger first is over them. by the time they are flush with the bottom of the bale chamber the plunger is maybe 6" past them. The timing marks are on and it misses a tie only about every 100 bales. I've baled about 500 bales this way with no problems. Does anyone know is this normal when properly timed on this machine or am I risking broken needles? I hate to adjust anything I'm not sure about since it performs so well. Any ideas? Ted.

We ran a 273 for a long time. You need to open the cover over the crank arm on top right behind the flywheel. Turn the flywheel until the crank arm is straight up. There are a couple of marks on the edge of the hole to line it up with. Then go back and pull the needles back, and the marks on the knotter drive should line up fairly close. The little disc brake that keeps the needles in position might be worn or need tightening and letting them slip down.

It is entirely possible that the marks are not right. On my 273 they are off about a 1/4". I don't have the 273 book near me. If memory serves the tips of the needles should enter the chamber about 3/4" behind the leading edge of the plunger as it compresses the bale.

The hay should never be pushed over the needles. they should rise and fall inside the plunger.Do you have a manual for your baler? If not get one it will help.
