Another knotter issues thread. Been having issues with the knotters on a 347 twine baler. Started last year in first cutting, didn't seem as bad or do it at all in second. Now this year has gotten progressively worse and acting up in second cutting also.
The knots on both side have some of the twine doubled back through and some bales will break as you get them off the chute to stack on the wagon. I wasn't sure if it was the knot coming apart or the twine actually breaking. Based on looking at some of the twine that came off the busted bales, looks like the twine is actually breaking most of the time and the knot staying together.
The twine doubled back through the knot is on every bale. The twine breaking is only 1-2 out of 20 or so bales, but last year was only 1-2 out of 100 or so.
Attached some pictures of what it is doing, and also of the billhooks and the bend in the knife arm. Do the billhooks look too worn or out of spec? And there are grooves cut into the bend on the knife arms - can this be filed or smoothed down again?
Based on looking through the troubleshooting in the manual, looks like these are the things to start with, but wanted to get ideas from you all. Thanks.
