I was just watching that, too!!! AWESOME!!! I always check out the days programmimg on RFDtv to see if I need to be in the house for something at a certain time.

I will have a team someday! I thought all that stuff they showed on there today was just neat as heck! What a way to do things and has to be a great thing for the soul!

Some friends of mine put this rig together a couple of Winters ago.

Sweet set-up, hayguy! Thanks for posting! Looks like it's working well for them!

Make sure the twine knife is sharp and tighten the tension on the bill hooks, it sounds like the twine might be slipping.

Will do! Thanks! I didn't have any knotter assemblies flipped up at all this year, where last year I had them flipped up every 3 bales and the whole shooting match off a few times.

I bet you're right. When it misses, it leaves a string that is about the length of two bales worth with loops on both ends. I should of checked the twine knives at the beginning of the year and didn't. I had major bill hook problems last year, but it never did this....mainly just stuck on the bill hooks every couple bales....so I might still be off on them a tad on that side.

It's crazy how little of an adjustment can have such an impact on them things. Even a tiny little tucker finger adjustment seems to make big changes.

broken springs on hay dogs can cause you grief-esp on the bottem where you kinda forget about them--and you need to feel them to make sure they aint broke--the coil part
