The reason that it is so often suggested that you read the manual, particularly with square balers..... is that the book generally has some fairly specific trouble shooting charts along with pictures of failed knots and explanations of why they failed. For my own part I can't imagine sitting here looking for answers of unknown validity, to a problem with a baler knotter... when there is hay to be baled and rain coming.
