NH 69 hayliner left side string breaking every 2-3 bale

[worbec]

We are baling small bales and the string on the left side has started to break. Does a couple of good ones than the left side breaks. string is ok. Any suggestions would help thank you

Switch twine balls. If the problem follows the twine, you know the solution

String breaks or knitter doesn't tie the string?

Oops .. KNOTTER!!

When does the twine break ? Immediately after the or during the tie cycle, or later on after the bale moves through the bale case.

Early could mean too tight tension in the twine box exit tensioner. Late could mean something sharp or binding in the bale case.

Are you using plastic or sisal twine?

Thank you for replying we are a new member. Looking at the string on the bale that was made after the breakage with the broken string on it there seems to be a knot with a loop. I checked all the bales after the b. and this happened- loop. We think maybe something is cutting the string. same thing happened yesterday.

Your wiper may be hitting the knotter or it's too far away. Could be the twine knife is dull also. Run it thru by hand and with no hay in it and watch both knotters while pausing along the way. pull the twine to the rear and let it slide around something to provide a little tension like a bale would.

You do need to follow the operators manual. I fought my Ol' 269 about two seasons to get it to tie a knot. I went thru each segment of the baler. The feeders, both knotter gears twine holder twine hooks, twine knifes & bill hooks & new chain. Rebuilt the plunger, new bearings, side shield plate, hay knifes, hay dogs & springs and bale wedges. Changed from Sisal twine to Poly Twine and finally replaced needles. I've lost track of the flywheel shear bolts I replaced (has to be between 25-30, Oh and the little shear bolt hub that fits in the flywheel. Well it ties now. I do have coming, some time this winter, a replacement baler (Hesston 4550). I definitely feel your pain, been down the Old New Holland Baler Road. I know I didn't answer any specific questions, but, as you can tell I was shooting in the dark to get mine working. bjr

Find a New Holland operators manual, follow and check all the knotter adjustments. If you have a loop the troubleshooting chart will tell you why. Take the sweep arm off and sharpen with a file. May need to replace the bill hook. Properly adjusted and it will tie fine.
