I am going to use my neighbors Oliver baler this spring to bale my grass hay. He said is works good on a new bale of twine and doesn't miss a tie untill the bale is half used up. Does anyone know why it would do that or have any suggestions for what to look for.

Thanks,
Bob

You have to have a certain amount of tension on the string not to much or the string will break. I lost a lot of sweat before i figured this out.

Twine tension for sure. BTW- out local baler expert says 90% of knoter problems go away with the plastic twine. Much more uniform than sisal and just works better. That being said, I still use sisal 'cuz plastic is a bear to get rid of.

I agree with Tim that it is probably you tension. It always seems to me that the twine is under more tension at the center of the ball and less as you go out.

Could also use some adjustment in the tucker fingers I'm guessing. Almost have to get the book and sit down to adjust out knotters. I usually spend a half day every years right after I finish first cutting alfalfa (want them polished off nice and clean). There are about 5-6 things to adjust and need to set to .30" or less with tensions in the 5# gradient.

could be you need more tension on the string or maybe not as much. the more i think about it and the way twine is wrapped in those bales i would guess the first part which comes from the inside is easier to come out.
