I just got my baler working this afternoon, two days after I got my hay baled with my friend's baler. Was just about to give up and find a differant baler when I finally got the knotters working good together. The bales are only 32" long, I would like to get 36" bales. I have the set collar set all way up to the bend in the knotter trip arm, am I able to move it over the bend and would that get me the other 4"? Also, is there a way I can get the bales a little tighter, seem a little loose compared to the ones out of my friends JD 14T. Thanks for any and all help.

We never wanted them any longer, first had a New Holland 66 set for 36" the first years, reset to 30", when we got the 46 with Kicker kept at 30" or slightly less, easier handling, stacked easier and would not come apart as easy

Rich,

I didn't get a chance to measure the knotter trip lever today. The #46 baler we had when I was a kid would make tight bales, we use a bale wagon to pick them up and they had to be tight. We finally switched to a JD 336, because the 46 would put out a long bale every once in a while.

I think I'll just mess around w/ it and see what happens, fortunatley, I charge by the bale, so might make a couple more bucks. Right after I got both knotters working, the first bale was 4' long. Just have to tinker w/ them. Got new twine knives yesterday. Do know I will be getting a JD when I get the mnoney, something else to dream about. Thanks for the help. Rich

Hi Rich,

I have a IH #27 that is smaller than the 46, but uses the same knotters. You shouldn't have to move the locking collar for bale length all the way up. Mine is 3/4 of the way and makes 36" bales. I wonder if the knotter trip arm is from another baler. I will measure mine tomorrow and see how long it is. The IH balers all bale a loose bale, depending on the type of hay I can sometimes get a good tight bale.
