problems wit nh 644

[rusty]

I am having trouble getting my 644 to send the twine arms back past the knife to the home position. It keeps stopping in front of the knife. If I grab the twine arms I can pull to where it should be but after each bale it does the same thing.Help the service dept. in my area is of no use.

what drives the tie arm ?

The tie arms connect to a tie rod which I have tried to adjust like the book shows,it is moved by the cam controlling the auto tie. Problem is I can manually grab them and move them to the home position they just won't return there on there.

I had that problem on my 855 the tractor battery was weak. Put in a new battery and problem was solved. It could be that or dirty connections not allowing full power.

It's an Autowrap and not a Bale Command....right? If it's an Autowrap, run it through a wrap cycle and see if the belt is slipping.

I think there is a timing adjustment on the auto tie if its like a 855

644 is now working.After a couple of calls and one picture sent back to the guys @ Spaulding Equipment in Clover Va. they told me the breakaway was not connected.Tied a rope to twine tube pulled it back till it snapped in place.Went to the field it worked like it should. Can't beat a man at his own game. David and Chris know their #$%^. Thanks

was thinking that, on my old 650 I had to use a tie down strap with a wrench to lever it closed
