How do adjust the knotters on #12 Massey Fergurson hay baler
hay is picked up by a the pickup tines, then pushed perpendicularly by a "fork". it is then compacted into slabs by the plunger and tied with twine by the knotters. the bale then comes out the back of the baler.
Adjust tension on the line feeder inside the baler.
Unless used with care and safety in mind at all times, the main disadvantage of a hay baler (and many other farm equipment) is that you could become trapped, hurt or killed in the machinery. Never, ever, try to adjust the baler while the tractor/take off is running.
No need to answer I've just got the book for the baler and have made correcting adjustments....... Thank you............
reflection about baler
baler movie is great...
Run the twine out of the twine box and through the guide next to the needle. Then run the twine through the needles and tie it off somewhere. When the knotter trips, it will inject the twine into the knotters and it will be threaded. If your baler has been sitting for awhile, it might take a few cycles for it to start knotting properly due to rust. for starters if it's a wire baler it doesn't have twine or knotters; it has wire and twisters. but it's true you thread it through the guide holes in balewire box, down through the sheaves, up over sheaves just before the needles and across the top of the needles then tie it off to the brace just like a twine baler. be careful, make sure it's centered over the top of the needles. after it makes a cycle you should be able to see if it picked up the wire and has held it in twisting grippers. it is held in these until the wire goes around the bale, then it should twisted and cut. make sure sheaves that wire goes through are lubricated with wd40 or something similar. i bought my 532 about five years ago and it does a good job. i think you can still get a manual for this baler from your ford ag dealer.
Ed Nolt built the baler.
John Deere, Case IH/Agritrac, New Holland and Massey are the main companies that produce balers, primarily small square, large square, and large round. The large square baler is the most expensive to purchase. SINOBALER is a specialized baler manufacture based in China. Balers manufactured include cardboard baler, textile baler, bottle baler, tyre baler, fiber baler as well as various kinds of vertical balers and horizontal balers.
The duration of Baler - film - is 1.83 hours.
