I recently purchased a used New Holland 565 square baler. It is in really good shape; it looks like a new baler. I put about 600 bales through it with basically no problems. However, yesterday the knots on the right knotter were hanging-up on the bill hook and then the string would break. It doesn't do this every time, but when it does, it will break 3 to 5 bales. I know there can be several causes of this problem, but was unsure where to start. I didn't get an operators manual with the baler. I have one ordered but it has not arrived yet. Any suggestions as to where I should start.
Thanks

i agree it's probably the knife and or knife arm. . if you can work on things yourself, i'd go buy a new knife arm for about 50 bucks and keep the old one for a spare.

could also be too much tension on the roller on the tongue of the bill hook so it won't let the twine go. I would check the knife and knife arm fist though.

Terry, my experience is that if it had been work-
ing fine for 600 bales and now it's hanging on a
bill hook then the problem is the knife. It might
be dull or or it's not adjusted so the scrapper
rubs the bottom of the bill hook. Compare it's
function to the one that is working properly.
The knife arm travel could be short, it should
clear the bill hook by 3/8". There are other
things like twine disc timing and tension but I'd
look to the knife first. Good luck.

I agree, there could be several reasons why, when I bought my "new to me" JD 14t, it also would do the same thing as yours.. I had to open the knotters, and use a emery board and sandpaper, and clean off the bill hook, there was rest inside, once I clean it all up, and put in fresh, square bale twine,, ( I have no luck with the plastic nor the 9000 twine..), it works great...

You're right there could be several causes. In my case my 276 baler was doing just as you describe. I ended up moving the twine knife because the twine was getting cut too late in the tying process and the knot was hanging on the bill. I had to grind the knife off and move it about 1/4 inch and then weld back on. Believe it or not I have run over 2000 bales through it and it has NOT missed a tie.
