Recommendations on inline baler and accumulator

[RedNeckRacin]

I'd recommend the kuhns system. Its dead simple and besides greasing the slide where the bales travel down the backside and figuring out the spring tension it has been a very good unit for us. We used the 10 bale model where the pattern goes 4-4-2 the last two being turned sideways. It actually makes haying enjoyable with the grapple once you get onto the quirks of it. I was grinning ear to ear sitting in an AC cab and stacking hay! I was about as tickled as a pig in poop. You definitely need a large trailer or wagon if you are moving more than a mile or so to get your hay stored. You also have to have alot of room to maneuver with the grapple. It really makes a tractor long!

I'd like to change the subject a little, I have a Massy Ferguson 124 twine baler and I was doing just great until I loaned it out. I came back all beat up and the knotters wouldn't tie and it was out of time. I have it tying good but I cannot get it in time. I have tried to follow the directions in the book but I still can't come up with the proper timing. I assume you do the set up on the impact stroke and I have no problem with that but I can't get rest to fall in line. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd start with the timing chain that runs the knotters. If it's too slack, it may have jumped a tooth or two while your friend was torturing your baler.

Good luck.

Yes timing is checked/set on compression stroke. When attempting to time your MF baler are you turning the flywheel the correct direction that the tractor pto turns??
