Baling yesterday with our NH 273 with a 54a belt kicker and we had 2 different issues:
1. Randomly (every 7-20 bales?) the string wouldn't cut on one bale so one bale would blow out of the kicker and the next one would be properly tied, but it would have a "tail" with the missing string from the previous bale that blew out. When it was doing this, we had a missing spring (one of the big ones that pulls down on the knotter assembly). Not sure if that was related, but I found a spare spring in the toolbox and put it on.
2. Sometimes, the bales would blow apart in the kicker and when you looked at the twine, the left side string had a knot in one end of the string, but not in the other.
Baled 330 bales yesterday and have another 4-500 to bale this afternoon, so looking for some ideas on what to check.
Thanks
