Quote: CVPost-Dopp Creek (quoted from post at 23:02:19 07/23/23) Masseys use a bow tie knotter. They dont leave two cut tails like a John Deere or New Holland. Looks like your twine is breaking as it is pulled off the
bill hook. As mentioned, a dull knife or the bill hook not releasing. I can dig out my book tomorrow afternoon if you don.t figure it out.
Yes, the stripper arm isn't completely removing the knot. That bow is staying in between the jaws and then the lower twine breaks as the bale is pushed through.
I was able to watch it as somebody else rolled it through today. I took this pic just after the knife started to move. As the knot is pulled off, it's dragging one of the tails with it making that bow, which stays wrapped around the jaw. My stripper arms have grooves from the twine cut in them and I think the knot is getting caught in the grooves instead of being pulled off. The rollers also have a lot of wear on them so I don't think I'm getting the full stroke either. I'm done baking for a few months so I'm going to rebuild the stripper arms and go from their.
I appreciate the insight. If I'm overlooking something, let me know!

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
