Sorry, there is little to no difference in the knotter from the 430 to the 435.
The "all twine" knotter is just a slightly improved/modified Mccormick knotter, which IMHO isn't saying much.
We had nothing but problems with a 430, then a 435. The 430 got so bad it would miss every second or third bale no matter what we tried. The 435 was a leftover bought brand new after CaseIH went to the inline balers. Worked ok for a few years, but after about 25,000 bales it started acting the same as the 430. Always the same side, the left as I recall.
Forget baling anything but dead dry hay with either baler. If it was even a little tough, both would just blow loose bale after loose bale into the wagon.
Both balers were greased religiously, kept inside, kept clean.
Both balers were worked on by the local IH dealer's "best baler guy" multiple times. He'd spend about an hour, starting by flipping the knotter up, taking it all apart, tapping on a thing here and there with a crescent wrench, then putting it all back together exactly as it was before. The baler might work for a load or two, but then it would start blowing loose bales into the wagon again.
Finally bought a New Holland 316 at an auction. Dad hates it because it shakes and clatters and makes noise, but its a whole lot more reliable than those IH balers ever were.
You couldn't give me a 430/435/440/445 baler if it had a chamber full of baled-up $100 bills.
