Kevin: I've got two MF 10s, and only been using them a year so I'm not expert. First and best advice I can give is buy the manuals: MF dealer can get them for you (I got the operators and the parts manuals) cheap. They take about a week to come in, I think operators may have been $7, and parts about $15. They tell you everything about setting up and fine tuning, too. Now: my first one sounded like you describe. It worked ok, I spent a lot of time trying to get the knotters reliable. Finally, a bill hook broke...new part was $80 so I started looking around for a parts baler. Found a neighbor had another MF 10, shed kept, 'gently used' and original owner. Got it for next to nothing...it sounds like a sewing machine: quiet, smooth. So my original baler has/will become the parts baler. I understand the early MF balers were shipped from the factory for sisal. There was a 'conversion kit' for poly (not sure exactly what was in it), so yours was probably converted if it had poly in it. Somebody else could probably tell you if you can 'go back' to sisal. good luck,
Tom
