Trying to set up my new-used square baler for the first time. The gap under the billhook tongue is big enough that the tooth bottoms out before ever touching the twine. How much force should it take to draw the twine ends through when the tongue is clamped?
It was loose with poly, and I tried some 7200 sisal also. Still feels like it doesn't resist pulling through at all. The billhooks don't appear to be excessively worn, but its possible. I've read suggestions on filing the tooth, but not sure how far to go.
As it is currently, cranking down on the billhook tension spring won't do anything since the tooth is bottomed out.
