New Holland 276 baler/ thrower

So last hay season I bought a new baler, a new holland 276, sure the hell beats using an allis Chalmers 303! Only real bad thing I've noticed about this baler is that it chews the strings off in the thrower. The model # is 54A, and from the research that I have done it appears that this is the thrower for a 273 and 275. It also appears that a model #70 is the actual right thrower for the baler. Any feedback or knowledge of a 276 with a #70 thrower would be greatly appreciated!
