Hey all. Trying to use my new holland 268 for the first time. I do have a manual but it is packed away in storage that I can?t get to at the moment. When I tried to look up how to thread the twine I thought I had it figured out. I ran it through the two holes and then through the single insulator to the insulator at the tip of the needles. Then I found mixed answers. Do I run the twine above the the bottom piece of metal of the bale chamber and then to the round bar that supports the needles? I have only been able to get one twine (the right side) to successfully tie a knot and not break. One person said to thread the twine and then trip the knitters. Well I thought I had done that and all that did was break my shear bolt! I am clueless on balers and I have hay on the ground that has been rained on once and might rain again on Sunday.
