Does yours have 2 coils of wire, or 4..?? Ours had 4....I am not sure about the ones with 2 coils.... With 4 coils, you had to let the baler stop as it tied a bale..with the needles part way up... You pull about 3 feet or so of wire out from the coil and cut it off--then tie it to the cross-bar at the bottom of the needles...Put the NEW coil at this time, but you don't hook it up yet... Roll the baler over with the PTO or with the flywheel, until the needles are down... Cut and remove the wire that is threaded in that needle, and thread the wire from the new coil thru the rollers in the needle, and tie the 2 ends together--each with the tail wrapped BACK on Itself, and the end bent back toward the know...this knot will lot come untied... This knot is tied up near the bale chamber..so the knot does not have to go thru any rollers.. As for the top coils, you pull extra wire up from between the knotter and the tensions chute... Cut it off, replace the coil and thread the wire thru the guide and knotter, and tie the knot... Remember, each wire is wrapped Back on Itself, with the ends turned back toward the center of the knot, so it will "cinch" when pulled tight.. You should only loose about 5 ft of wire, if you catch it just at the end of each coil...less, from the top coils...
