Our NH648 was giving me a ton of trouble Saturday, actually started Friday when I put in a new roll of netwrap. It seems the knife does not drop cleanly or heavily enough to make a clean cut when the Bale Command tells it to drop.
It's like it makes a little bounce when it hits the netwrap and then just chews it off with long ragged webs of netting hanging off of the bales, rather than making a nice even job like it used to. Sometimes it won't cut it at all and I have to get off the tractor and lift the knife head and drop it manually. When I did that, it cut it perfectly. But the dang thing is to do it by itself.
Even if the new roll of netwrap was stronger material, it should still cut it, I think. Had the dealer out last year to check it out when it did this and he couldn't find a reason why the cutter wasn't dropping cleanly.
I must have been off and on that tractor and up the front of that baler a hundred times or more for about 80 bales. . . . . . :???: But at least I finished the field.
