Well, I brought some hay home from the neighbors, and I fired the old 68 up. I fed the hay into the pick up until I heard the "thunk" that the knotters make when they engage.
I went around to the knotters, and they DID tie the bale, the bale IS a nice size, although it is VERY loose, I took the two twist tightners off of the chute, and forgot to tighten them back up...
There is only one problem that I can see, when they tied the knot, there is a little loop left in the twine, and on each of the knotters, there are these little silver arms (twine bills??), and they are holding the loops, with the knot/twine against the bale. Now, are the supposed to let go, or what??
I ran out of hay, so I could pack more in to see what it would do, but other than it not letting go yet, it appears to be working great!
I can get a picture if you guys would like, I am kind of concerned, and would LOVE to know what is going on...
On another note, the twine that comes from the box, has been cut, and is now in the position that it needs to be in for the next bale! Thanks, Bryce
