I agree it's an excellent knotter video no matter what color/brand twine sq hay baler one has.If you'll read Implement Alley under this topic(Excellent knotter video!!)you'll find out you're 5 days behind time.

Most of these folks are too hard headed to use modern view so anything 5 days old is already down about china.......Thanks for pointin that out tho.

After watching that video I clicked on a couple of the other ones. It always bewilders me why people drop the bales on the ground as opposed to pulling a bale wagon and stacking them right on the wagon. Such a hard job and takes so many people to drop on ground and come back with truck and pick them up. We sometimes drop on ground if baling a road ditch or get in a narrow place where we can't turn around while pulling wagon but these videos show them baling big square fields.

I disagree about that youtube thing. I was looking around there the other day and found someone posted something with me on there. I almost fell out of my chair.

"i don't have a bailer, but that is neet"

Actually, VERY FEW people have "bailers"!

When I was baling, sometimes I didn't have anyone to load bales on a wagon, so I HAD to drop them on the ground. I got a bale basket and that helped, but I quit baling because there's nothing you can do to control the weather or for preventing old machinery from wearing out.

Good to get the waste water out of the bathtub during drought periods.usually called a bucket.

We do most of our baling at night. Baling hours are short, you can pick them up any time.

Maybe not in ND, but the jails/prisons wouldn't hold 'em if we didn't have 'bailers' in TN. Don't know how neet it is........is that something the wimmens shave with?

I watched the video. Nice. I always wanted a camera set up to watch a baler tie to determine the problems. Turned many by hand and watched the formation but at high speed different things take place. I always worked on the McCormick style knotter used by IH on the 45, 46, 37 etc and it does things some what differently. It only cuts one twine, twine knife is stationary and no stripper under bill hook or no tucker fingers. It makes a bow knot, double diameter they call it. The knotter in video was always referred to as the Deering style and if IH reps were telling the truth, all the other companys paid IH for years to use it. I would like to see a video of that but it is obsolete so that won't happen.

Depends on where ya are... dry areas (like the Dakotas, Wyoming, etc), it works. Here (western WI), it doesn't - humidity, heavy dew, frequent rains. They need to be hauled in the same day. Had a neighbor who moved here from N. Dakota and tried to farm like he did there... didn't work well.
