As a rookie,I was lucky enough to put up 175 bales of timothy yesterday,however I missed about 10 bales.Each time I had to clear poly twine strands from the knotter area. I suspect that the knives are dull.Looking at the manual I cannot assess how to remove the knives and sharpen them. Your advice and potential pitfalls in performing this task are appreciated.

Thanks Tom

Turn the knotter upsidedown on the shaft. There is a small bolt on a pedestal bracket on the lower left of knotter frame. Remove bolt and the knotter flips upside down pretty as a picture. Take short file or dremel and file away. Try arm for play. If the hidden zerk is not greased it will get sloppy and cut poor.

You dont need to remove the knives.

I will have to look at my manual as I did that once, but with missing 10 bales with only 175, you may want to look at your bill hooks etc.. to see why it is missing so much, I baled 675 with my 14t, and only missed 2 bales, one was when it moved to the new twine, always seems to miss that one. I also moved back to hemp twine from poly, and my bales missed far less bales,, also the hemp will desolve and even though I'm careful I still find poly twine in the field from bales I had to buy 3 years ago.. that old baler just seems to work better with the hemp twine,, also make sure you are using 9000 twine for square bales,, my wife picked some up once for me, bought round baler twine, and I put it in without thinking,, that thing didn't bale worth anything... went back bought new hemp twine and it worked great....
