I have a mccormick 45 square hay baler that works fine on one side when it ties the string but will not work on the other. It runs fine for two or three bales and then will start to bined up on one side and will kick the bale out with it tied on one side but not the other. Does anyone know what the solution would be.

Do both sides make the knot, and then pull one side apart in the chute? Or does the knot just not knot? Run through the cycle and watch to see if the knot pulls off the duckbill at the same time as the good side, and that it seems to form a good loop, or if the string stays in the disks where it is supposed to under tension until the next knot is made. There is a tension adjustment for the duckbill and one for the twine holder in the disk. Either could have gotten debris. Someone once told me to loosen these over winter or storage to prevent spring weakening for next year.

One thing we found out about our No 47 is that a sharp twine knife helps a lot. When it misses on one side you need to find out the reason. Does the twine pull out of the twine disk? Does the hook on the knot tying head fail to pick up both ends to tie them? Sometimes you can learn a lot by feeding hay with a fork while the baler is running but not moving along the windrow. With the speed very low try tripping the rod that starts the tying cycle and watch what happens. Be very careful to stand clear as it's easy to get hurt. We've found it useful with the bale chamber nearly empty and the tractor not running to turn the flywheel by hand after tripping the rod. It took us quite a while to figure out what the sequence is supposed to be but running it in slow motion was helpful Sometimes the twine tensioning clamp has picked up debris which throws the tension off and that could effect one side more than the other. Lotsa luck.

I had problems with the one I used to have doing the same thing. Check your knotter knives on that side, and make sure they are sharp, and spaced correctly.
