I wouldn't know if the 4 remaining dealerships in the county (1 JD, 1 blue CNH, 1 red CNH, 1 AGCO) still would work on knotters or not (no pun intended). I DO know their shop rates are pretty dear, and that they would much rather sell you a new baler than fix an old one, and parts seem to be priced accordingly.
I imagine in most areas there are a few who have had enough blue word experience with one brand or another over the years, who could be resourced when your knotters don't. It may just be a matter of figuring out who.

In theory, a knotter is a simple machine, but like many things in life, timing is everything. A bit of wear in a not so obvious place can cause a lot of problems that may be hard to come up with a simple solution for. One of the reasons I don't give my real name here - I already have enough to do.
