Well,
I started baling my last cutting yesterday, and about 50 bales into it the old 24T gave up. Seems when it switched bales of twine, as luck would have it, the knot ended up getting lodged in the knotter. This was pretty thick hay, so by the time I noticed it the needles had tripped again, something got outta whack, and now I have a three piece, removable knotter:( JD service manager is a good friend so I had him stop by on his way to work and check it out. By the look on his face I knew this was trouble. Needless to say she`s now sitting at JD with about $1,000 worth of fixing needing to be done. To fix or not to fix that is the question. This baler is in great shape otherwise, I`ve owned it for the past 5 yrs. Baling about 1,200 bales a year, I can`t remember the last bale it missed,(until now)
I`m leaning toward having it fixed right and hopefully being done with it. Somebody tell me if I`m crazy to stick that kind of money in an old machine. Thanks Brokenwrench
